Justin Baldoni Sues Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds For $400 Million For Defamation
Well THIS just amped up a few notches! Justin Baldoni’s lawyer has said in numerous interviews it was coming, and now a lawsuit has been filed for $400 million against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for defamation. In fact, Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, told Megyn Kelly they would sue the couple “into oblivion”. Freedman pledges to publish ALL text messages for the public to see the full context of all communications.
Publicist Leslie Sloane was also named in the suit filed in the Southern District of New York, alleging civil extortion, defamation, breach of implied covenant of good faith, and other claims related to their handling of the film It Ends With Us. This counters Lively’s initial lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and smear campaigns. Baldoni is also suing The New York Times for $250 million accusing them of libel for printing the allegations against him in a one-sided narrative.
