Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Embroiled in Legal and PR Battle Over 'It Ends With Us'
The dispute involves allegations of sexual harassment, defamation, and smear campaigns, with lawsuits filed by both parties and significant public scrutiny.
- Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni and his production company of orchestrating a smear campaign after she spoke out about alleged sexual harassment on the set of 'It Ends With Us.'
- Baldoni has countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others for defamation, extortion, and invasion of privacy, seeking $400 million in damages.
- The lawsuits have drawn comparisons to the Depp-Heard defamation trial, with both sides presenting conflicting evidence and narratives aimed at swaying public opinion.
- Key allegations include claims of doctored communications, astroturfing campaigns, and disputes over creative control of the film, which grossed $350 million globally.
- Legal experts suggest the lawsuits may proceed to trial, potentially revealing further details, though both parties risk reputational damage as the public feud escalates.
