Blake Lively’s Lawyers Slam Justin Baldoni’s Team Over ‘Blame the Victim’ Tactics


Blake Lively's attorneys issued a statement accusing Justin Baldoni's team of resorting to 'blame the victim' tactics in their ongoing legal fight.

Blake Lively ’s lawyers accused Justin Baldoni ‘s legal team of resorting to “blame the victim” tactics to distract from the sexual harassment allegations she’s leveled against her It Ends With Us co-star. In the statement obtained by Rolling Stone, Lively’s lawyers said her “serious claims of sexual harassment and retaliation” are “backed by concrete facts.” They rejected any categorization of the legal spat as “a ‘feud’ arising from ‘creative differences’ or a ‘he said/she said’ situation. Baldoni and some of the other plaintiffs — including publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel — have already filed a lawsuit of their own, though that one wasa libel complaint against The New York Times over its story about Lively’s harassment and smear campaign allegations.
