Blake Lively’s Suit Against Justin Baldoni Hits a Legal Snag: He Says It’s All Hearsay

Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni just took an interesting turn. The actress recently amended her lawsuit, alleging sexual harassment during the filming of “It Ends With Us,” but Justin’s attorney is not buying it. Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, called the newly filed suit “underwhelming” and slammed her claims as “filled with unsubstantial hearsay”—the kind where unnamed sources allegedly back Blake’s story but aren’t putting their names on the line. This whole drama started when Blake first accused Justin of a smear campaign against her, leading to a lawsuit that raises eyebrows not just about her credibility but about the broader workings of Hollywood’s toxic environment.

Freedman went on to say that Blake is maneuvering in the court of public opinion, pointing to her recent appearance with husband Ryan Reynolds at the “SNL 50” event as proof that they’re not taking the situation too seriously. It’s almost as if they’re trying to reframe a narrative, showcasing a happy couple despite these serious allegations swirling around.

In Blake’s updated court documents, she mentions two other women who allegedly experienced discomfort due to Justin’s behavior on set. These unnamed ladies are supposedly willing to come forward and testify, which adds a twist to the plot. But does this really back her claims, or does it just cloud the waters more? Freedman believes the upcoming depositions will prove enlightening, hinting at a real showdown in court. Oh, and let’s not forget, Justin isn’t just sitting back—he’s countersuing Blake, Ryan Reynolds, and even The New York Times for damaging his reputation, setting up a classic he-said-she-said scenario rife with accusations.

As more details emerge from this high-profile legal tussle, the question remains: who will be left standing when the dust settles? Prepare for what might be the juiciest celebrity court drama in recent memory.
