The developments in her and Justin’s cases are rare. Baldoni who she accuses of sexual harassment and coordinated campaign to insult her reputation for talking about her treatment on the set while her husband enters the frame. Blake Lively accuses Baldoni and the studio of starting a “multilevel plan” to harm her reputation after a meeting in which she and her husband, actor Rain Reynolds, were involved in “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior” by Baldoni and producer Jamie Heath, who is also named in both of the actress’ lawsuits. CORVERSE H, at the same time as the actor “opens” fire against the New York Times by filing a libel suit asking for $250 million. The actress’s new lawsuit against her co-star came in less than two weeks from the first. In that first lawsuit, he accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her and cultivating a toxic work environment in filming their film “It Ends With Us”, in which he both directed her and played with her. He categorically denied the allegations. The meeting was reportedly attended by both Baldoni and Jamey Heath, the CEO of Baldoni’s production company, Wayfarer Studios, and producer of It Ends With Us. Lively accused both men of engaging in “inappropriate behavior” in filming. CORVERSE In her second suit, Livly—unless she asks for a jury trial— Claims accusing Baldoni and those involved in the assumption that they caused her “psychic pain and pain”, as well as “serious emotional discomfort” and “loss of wages”. Livly’s lawyers in a statement to the Daily Mail said their client has suffered “more retaliation and attacks” since she made the decision to speak against Baldoni. At the same time it is revealed that Blake Lively was along with Ryan Rainlotch at a meeting with Baldoni with both sides remembering completely different events. What Livley says about the January 4 meeting contrasts with the version Baldoni presented, in his own lawsuit for slanderous defamation of $250 million against the New York Times for her report on the Livly complaint. “Livly had the right to have a representative present,” the New Year’s lawsuit argues. “She chose her husband, since the meeting concerned repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviors by Mr. Baldoni and Mr. Heath”. Married for over a decade, Reynolds and Livly have been one of Hollywood’s best-known power couples and have four children. Baldoni however remembers otherwise what happened on January 4 in his own lawsuit, which was also filed on New Year’s Eve. In Baldoni’s version of the events, Livly and Ryan Reynolds are accused of being “disturbed” during a heated confrontation at the couple’s penthouse in New York City. According to Baldoni, Reynolds “blessed him” during the meeting and “attacked him” for a series of insults against Livly. In his lawsuit, Baldoni says he was invited to the couple’s penthouse on the evening of January 4 along with a representative of Sony and other It Ends producers With Us. “They arrived willing to discuss plans for the next day’s shooting, prepared with their production material. Instead, they were surprised by Livly and Reynolds, who presented a list of complaints that were both unpredictable and alarming,” Baldoni’s legal side supports. Reynolds started a delirium, cursing Baldoni at a meeting the latter later described as “traumatic”, stating that “they had never spoken to him like that in his life.” Reynolds, demanded Baldoni apologize to Livley “for actions that were misjudged and proven false”, according to Baldoni’s lawsuit. “When Baldoni refused to apologize for something he had not done, Reynolds was even more outraged. Everyone, left that “meet” shocked”. The producer said that in the 40 years of his career he had never seen anyone talk to someone like that. Baldoni claims that Livly and Reynolds then used their “power and influence” against him, in an attempt to “bring down his career and personal life”. Information from Dailymail
