Harvey Weinstein Clarifies His Justin Baldoni Comments: 'Not Taking Sides'


Justin Baldoni's $250 million defamation lawsuit against 'The New York Times' draws reactions from Harvey Weinstein, recalling his 2017 scandal.

“Watching Justin Baldoni take legal action against The New York Times and its reporters — accusing them of manipulating communications and ignoring evidence that countered Ms. Lively’s claims — hit me hard,” Weinstein, 73, told TMZ in a Wednesday, April 9, statement. Baldoni, 41, sued The Times in January, claiming that the outlet helped spread his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively’s sexual harassment accusations before she formally filed court documents. “Our comprehensive investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against Mr. Weinstein was rigorously reported over many months and based on on-the-record interviews, legal settlements paid to accusers and other documents,” a spokesperson for The Times said.
