Justin Baldoni sues New York Times after Blake Lively lawsuit


The director accuses the newspaper of omitting information from its reporting of Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment on set of the film It Ends with Us

Her lawsuit alleges that Baldoni, the film’s production company Wayfarer Studios and others engaged in a “carefully crafted, co-ordinated and resourced retaliatory scheme to silence her, and others, from speaking out”. Other defendants in Lively’s lawsuit — and plaintiffs in the counter-libel suit — include Melissa Nathan, a crisis communications expert hired for Wayfarer, whose alleged text message was quoted in The New York Times headline: “ ‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine ”. After filing her federal lawsuit in New York, lawyers for the actress said in a statement that legal action was being taken against Wayfarer Studios and others because Lively had endured a “retaliatory campaign” after “reporting sexual harassment and workplace safety concerns”.
