Justin Baldoni
Opinion
If we accept Lively’s version of the case as true, then the nature of the sexual harassment that occurred and the extremity of the retaliatory response from Baldoni and his gang, are extraordinary.
Lively has formally filed her own suit against Baldoni and pushed back on the director's new claims.
Baldoni's legal team called Lively's claims "completely false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."
In adapting Colleen Hoover's bestseller from page to screen, Baldoni wanted to protect protagonist Lily Bloom from harsh audience judgement.
