Justin Baldoni to Countersue Blake Lively Over Harassment Allegations

The legal battle intensifies as Baldoni's lawyer claims new evidence will challenge Lively's accusations and expose broader industry misconduct.

Blake Lively filed an 80-page legal complaint on December 20 accusing Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation during the filming of 'It Ends With Us.'
Lively's allegations include inappropriate comments, pressure to perform explicit scenes, and a coordinated smear campaign to harm her reputation.
Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, announced plans to file a countersuit in early 2025, claiming it will reveal falsified evidence and unethical media practices.
The countersuit will reportedly allege that Lively's team planted negative stories about Baldoni to rebuild her public image following criticism of her handling of the film's promotion.
The controversy has reignited discussions about power dynamics, gender equity, and the manipulation of public narratives in Hollywood.
