Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni Of “Abuser Playbook” Tactics After ‘It Ends With Us’ Director Sues Co-Star & Ryan Reynolds For $400M


Hours after her It Ends With Us co-star sued Blake Lively & hubby Ryan Reynolds for $400M, the actress claps back

Of course, as made evident today and over the past few weeks, Baldoni, his Wayferer Studios CEO Janey Heath, Crisis PR chief Melissa Nathan (who worked for Johnny Depp during his very down and dirty and ultimately successful legal battles with ex-wife and Aquaman star Amber Heard) and publicist Jennifer Abel insist they are the real victims here. Baldoni’s legal action Thursday is the latest in an ever-growing line of filings, agency pink slippings and lawsuits on what may have occurred on It Ends With Us and the alleged smear campaign that followed commenced by Lively’s December 20 sexual harassment and retaliation complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department. As well, amongst, subpoenas, attorney media appearances and more, Baldoni’s team sent an evidence preservation letter on January 7, just before the fires exploded in LA, to Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel boss Kevin Feige over the Jane the Virgin vet’s feelings that Reynolds mocked him and bullied him with the Nicepool character featured in Deadpool & Wolverine.
