Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Accuse Justin Baldoni & PR Team Of Continuing Smear Campaign Against ‘It Ends With Us’ Actress, Double Down On Gag Order Request
EXCLU: Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds are doubling down on their request for gag order on Baldoni lawyer Bryan Freedman over bad mouthing in the media
“The Wayfarer Parties are attempting to draw a dangerous false equivalence that may have profound consequences not just for this case, but for other women who are sexually harassed in the workplace given the high profile of this matter,” the Willkie Farr & Gallagher lawyer continues in the four-page correspondence just filed in federal court in New York. For a multi-lawsuit matter that honestly has seen all sides and the respective PR chiefs play the press as much if not more than the courts with, “tactical gamesmanship,” as the January 23 letter says, Fritz showed no hesitation or irony in hitting the sentimental button hard in his correspondence. Raising the stakes this week, Gottlieb added: “The Lively-Reynolds Parties intend to seek an appropriate protective order to govern further proceedings in this case, but given the imminent harm caused by Mr. Freedman’s misleading and selective statements and leaks, we respectfully request that this Court schedule a hearing as soon as possible to address the appropriate conduct of counsel moving forward in these two related matters.”
