Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Aim to Dismiss Justin Baldoni’s $400M Defamation Suit

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds told a federal judge that they will move to dismiss her 'It Ends With Us' costar Justin Baldoni's defamation lawsuit.

The complaint, filed in New York’s Southern District, accuses Lively, Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and her company, Vision PR, of defamation, extortion, and invasion of privacy. His suit arrived after Lively filed a precursor complaint with the California Civil Rights Department and accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on set and launching a smear campaign against her. “All these motions to dismiss are just yet another attempt by Ms. Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Leslie Sloan to hide and delay the discovery of the hundreds of pages of true facts and well-documented information that we remain dedicated to providing publicly, with full transparency,” Freedman told Rolling Stone in response to the new filing.
