Justin Baldoni claims Ryan Reynolds berated him for ‘fat-shaming’ Blake Lively during ‘aggressive’ confrontation
Blake Lively has filed a formal lawsuit against her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni .
“Earlier today, Ms. Lively filed a federal complaint against Wayfarer Studios and others in the Southern District of New York,” her attorneys told us in a statement.The actress sued Baldoni in New York federal court for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.
Her attorneys concluded, “Ms. Lively has brought this litigation in New York, where much of the relevant activities described in the complaint took place, but we reserve the right to pursue further action in other venues and jurisdictions as appropriate under the law.” Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios’ attorney, Bryan Freedman, previously told Page Six in response to the allegations, “It is shameful that Ms. Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations.
According to the lawsuit, they “would then feed pieces of this manufactured content to unwitting reporters, making content go viral in order to influence public opinion and thereby cause an organic pile-on.” “In doing so, they pre-determined the outcome of their story and aided and abetted their own devastating PR smear campaign designed to revitalize Lively’s self-induced floundering public image and counter the organic groundswell of criticism amongst the online public. The irony is rich.”
