Justin Baldoni's Lawyer Vows to Release 'Evidence' of Blake Lively's 'Pattern of Bullying': 'We Have the Receipts'

Justin Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman says he promises to release 'evidence' to show his 'It Ends with Us' costar Blake Lively's 'pattern of bullying'

In a statement obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the It Ends with Us director's attorney Bryan Freedman says, "It is painfully ironic that Blake Lively is accusing Justin Baldoni of weaponizing the media when," he claims, "her own team orchestrated this vicious attack by sending The New York Times grossly edited documents prior to even filing the complaint." On Monday, Jan. 6, Lively’s legal team told PEOPLE that her “serious claims of sexual harassment and retaliation,” first lodged in a California complaint on Dec. 20, 2024, are “backed by concrete facts.” “A classic tactic to distract from allegations of this type of misconduct is to ‘blame the victim’ by suggesting that they invited the conduct, brought it on themselves, misunderstood the intentions, or even lied," they wrote.
