Blake Lively Claims Justin Baldoni Tried to ‘Eviscerate’ Her Credibility: Lawsuit

Blake Lively claims in a new federal lawsuit that Justin Baldoni tried to "hurt" and "silence" her.

Blake Lively filed her federal lawsuit against Justin Baldoni late Tuesday, alleging in a scathing 93-page complaint that her It Ends With Us director and co-star subjected her to “disturbing” sexual harassment during production and then engaged in a retaliatory campaign designed to “silence” and “eviscerate” her credibility. It alleges the group “engaged in a sophisticated, coordinated, and well-financed” attack plan that planted stories and “weaponized a digital army” against Lively, causing her and her family “severe emotional harm.” In that dueling 87-page complaint, the group alleged The Times recklessly relied on Lively’s “unverified and self-serving narrative” when it published its Dec. 21 story titled: “‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.”
