Blake Lively assembles squad of activists to accuse Justin Baldoni of 'abandoning' MeToo message


Blake Lively took aim at Justin Baldoni Thursday amid her ongoing litigation with her It Ends with Us collaborator , saying that women's groups are abandoning him in droves.

Lively's team said that Baldoni is going against his own playbook as the complicated legal case progresses, leaving himself open to increased scrutiny in the wake of his past public statements. 'Rather than defend his case on the facts, Baldoni is now contradicting years of his own public persona — abandoning the message of his #MeToo YouTube's, podcasts, TED Talks, and interviews, where he once upon a time urged men 'to listen to the women in your life … to hold their anguish and actually believe them, even if what they're saying is against you,' Lively's rep said. In her lawsuit, the Gossip Girl alum accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her in multiple ways - including body shaming her- and orchestrating a smear campaign against her to damage her reputation.
