Justin Baldoni Files $400M Lawsuit Against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Over 'It Ends With Us' Dispute

The lawsuit accuses Lively of defamation, extortion, and creative interference while denying her allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct.

Justin Baldoni has sued Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane for $400 million, alleging defamation, extortion, and interference in the production of 'It Ends With Us.'
Lively previously filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, workplace misconduct, and orchestrating a smear campaign to harm her reputation.
Baldoni's countersuit claims Lively fabricated allegations to deflect from her own negative press during the film's promotion, including backlash over her marketing approach.
The legal filings include text messages and emails, with Baldoni asserting they demonstrate his version of events and refute Lively's claims of harassment.
This legal battle has involved accusations of creative control disputes, PR campaigns, and personal conflicts, with both sides seeking to clear their names in court.
