On the harassment claim, a jury would have to find that Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath engaged in “severe or pervasive” misconduct sufficient to create a hostile work environment. He also argues it could be difficult to prove damages, such as a lost film role, due to negative posts or articles purportedly planted by Baldoni’s publicity team.
