Actor Justin Baldoni “answered” with a lawsuit against his co-star, her husband, journalist Leslie Sloane and also the PR firm Vision PR, Inc. of Sloan for the sexual harassment case in the filming of “It Ends With Us”. Lawyers of 40-year-old actor-director filed a $400 million lawsuit in the South District of New York on Thursday, January 16 on behalf of Justin Baldoni himself, producer Jamie Eith, journalist Jennifer Abel and crisis journalist Melissa Nathan, claiming that Blake Liveley took steps to gain control and rights of the successful film, prompting Ryan Reynolds in the case. CORVERSE He sued them for civil extortion claims, libel, false slight violation of privacy, violation of a silent good faith agreement and fair trade, intentional intervention in contractual relations, intentional intervention in future economic advantage and negligent interference in future economic advantage. The representatives of Lively, Reynolds and Sloane did not respond directly to PEOPLE’s request for comment. In a statement, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, says: “This lawsuit is a legal lawsuit based on an overwhelming number of inviolable evidence detailing Blake Lively’s dual attempt and her team to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies, grossly propagating processed, unfounded, new and processed media information. CORVERSE It is clear that it must provide all the full text messages, emails, videos and other evidence communicated between the parties in real time, that this is a battle that will not win and will certainly regret Blake Lively either seriously misled by her team deliberately and knowingly misinterpreted the truth. Let us not forget, Mrs Lively and her team tried to destroy fame and livelihood for gross selfish reasons through their own dangerous media manipulation before they even took any legal action. We know the truth, and now the public is doing it.” the statement continues. “Justin and his team have nothing to hide, documents lie”. It is recalled that Blake Lively had sued Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and creating a defamation campaign of her name, about a month ago. The protagonist had claimed that during the filming of “It Ends With Us” the 40-year-old asked for more scenes with personal moments of the two lead roles.
