Blake Lively’s accusations against Justin Baldoni

Lawsuits are big news in a story related to a movie that had an unexpected success. The case has already caused quite a stir in Hollywood and has opened up a debate about the treatment of actors both on set and in the media.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Lively’s lawsuit. But he previously called the same claims “completely false, outrageous and deliberately risky“.
Lively’s lawsuit comes on the same day as a defamation lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Baldoni and others against the Times, which alleges at least 250 million dollars. The Times stood by its report and said it plans to “vigorously defend itself” in court.
