Justin Baldoni is suing Blake Lively and her publicist for $400 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 40-year-old actor starred alongside ‘Gossip Girl’ actress Blake, 37, and after she accused him of sexual harassment on set, he has decided to take her – as well as her husband Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane – to court through his studio as part of a defamation case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman sasaidys: “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team\u2019s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is clear based on our own all out willingness to provide all complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence that was shared between the parties in real time, that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret. Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layer added that Blake “attempted to bulldoze reputations” with her recent media campaign and insisted that his client has “nothing to hide” with his choice to take it all to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “Let\u2019s not forget, Ms. Lively and her team attempted to bulldoze reputations and livelihoods for heinously selfish reasons through their own dangerous manipulation of the media before even taking any actual legal action. We know the truth, and now the public does too,” the statement continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayfarer [Studios] and its associates engaged in unlawful, retaliatory astroturfing against Ms. Lively for simply trying to protect herself and others on a film set. And their response to the lawsuit has been to launch more attacks against Ms. Lively since her filing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They went on to accuse Justin and his representatives of victim blaming and attempting to “trivialise” serious allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement continued: \u201cSexual harassment and retaliation are illegal in every workplace and in every industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA classic tactic to distract from allegations of this type of misconduct is to \u2018blame the victim\u2019 by suggesting that they invited the conduct, brought it on themselves, misunderstood the intentions, or even lied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
