Lively and her circle of Hollywood elites cannot prevent my clients from exercising their constitutional right to petition the court to clear their names from her false and harmful claims,” Freedman said. Baldoni’s team also cites an interview Lively gave at the 2022 Forbes Power Women’s summit, which they argue supports their contention that she intended to seize creative control of the movie.
