The legal battles related to “It Ends With Us” are indeed never-ending, this time as director/actor Justin Baldoni has sued co-star Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million over what he claims are “falsified stories” meant to destroy his reputation.
“Lively could not tolerate her publicly tainted image for even a moment, and
further could not accept that it was entirely of her own making. She needed a scapegoat,” he wrote in Thursday’s filing. “Rather than admit and take accountability for her own mishaps, she chose to blame Plaintiffs, in a
malicious and unforgivably public manner. When she and Reynolds could not force Baldoni and Wayfarer to read a statement she and her representatives prepared, extorting them to ‘take accountability” in defense of Lively’s actions, she lay in wait for months, preparing to publicly attack Baldoni by falsely claiming that he had sexually harassed her.”
“The same falsified stories she had calculatingly devised and used throughout the production of this film in order to take control were now being used publicly to destroy Baldoni and Plaintiffs,” Baldoni continued.
