Blake Lively’s legal team has filed new documents criticizing Justin Baldoni and his team in the ongoing It Ends with Us lawsuit saga.
The 41-year-old director’s $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against co-star Blake was dismissed earlier this year after he failed to meet the deadline to amend the claims and refile. Previously, the case had been dismissed by the judge.
Blake’s lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation against Justin remains active and is set to go to trial in March.
Now, her lawyers have filed documents to respond to motions to dismiss the suit.

“In their latest effort to avoid accountability for the hostile environment they created during the production and marketing of It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, and their co-defendants ask this Court to shield them from trial and deny Blake Lively her day in court by throwing everything at Lively’s sexual harassment and retaliation claims,” the documents read (via Deadline). “Defendants’ campaign to transform Lively—a mother of four with decades of experience in the industry who simply sought a safe and respectful workplace—into a ‘bully’ who ‘took over’ Baldoni’s film is not a defense against harassment, retaliation, defamation, or any claim Lively has advanced.”
The documents also criticized the “Defendants’ scattershot theories.”
The lawyers indicated that the Baldoni team is employing a method of “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender” to further “their victimization narrative.”
“Lively may be a movie star, but on the set of the film, Heath and Baldoni were her bosses with total consolidation of power as lead actor, producer, director, co-chairman, president, and CEO…. They set her schedule and salary, managed the set every day, were responsible for addressing HR concerns, and had the power to influence Lively‘s working conditions.”
Find out what Blake and Justin‘s co-stars said about the controversy, including one star who was unaware of the tensions and revealed which “Team” they were on.
