Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: The Legal Drama Spicier Than Any Soap Opera (Now with Extra Lip-Biting!)

Buy Me A Coffee

Ding ding! In the red corner, wearing a pantsuit of righteous fury, we have Blake “Don’t Mess With Me” Lively! And in the blue corner, armed with a man bun and very questionable judgment, it’s Justin “I’m the Victim Here, I Swear” Baldoni!

This Hollywood legal brawl just added another plot twist, and honestly, it’s giving more drama than a Gossip Girl reboot written by Shonda Rhimes after two Red Bulls.

🧑‍⚖️ Previously on “Law & Order: Celeb Division”
A couple of weeks ago, Blake Lively, 37, filed a big ol’ motion to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s countersuit faster than you can say “This is above my pay grade.” Meanwhile, Justin, 41 — actor, director, and apparently master of awkward TMI — decided he wasn’t having that and fired back with a legal response that basically screamed, “Your Honor, she’s mean and it hurt my feelings!”

Then — because nothing says plot twist like a surprise lawsuit — Justin also sued his former publicist. Because why fight one war when you can fight three?

📑 What’s Justin Even Saying?
According to his lawyer, Bryan “I Swear This Isn’t a Telenovela” Freedman, Blake’s trying to dismiss the case on grounds of “failure to state a claim.” But Freedman insists their complaint is chock-full of drama, including claims that Blake:

– Tried to “extort and manipulate” her way into controlling the film It Ends With Us
– “Defamed” and “scapegoated” Justin and his Wayfarer team when things didn’t go her way
– Basically tried to become the Thanos of indie movie production

Oh, and they also want everyone to know: Even if this lawsuit gets booted out like a Bachelor contestant with no roses, Blake better not think she’s getting attorneys’ fees and damages. Nope. Nada. Zilch.

💅 Blake’s Team: “Excuse Me, Sir, What Now?”
Blake’s lawyers, Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson (aka the dream team of ‘Try us, we dare you’), clapped back so hard, you could hear the courtroom collectively gasp.

Their response? “This isn’t just legally wrong, it’s giving ick.”

According to them, Justin and his squad are arguing that victims of sexual harassment shouldn’t be protected by law — because, you know, that’s totally a great look for a guy who built his brand on being ‘the sensitive one.’

The lawyers basically said:

“Justin Baldoni, the guy who writes poems about feminism on Instagram, now wants to sue women into oblivion for speaking up. The math ain’t mathing.”

🤯 The Allegations… Buckle Up, It’s Unhinged
Let’s just say, if this were a script, no studio would greenlight it because it’s WAY too unbelievable. Here’s just a taste of the allegedly horrifying behavior Justin & Co. are being accused of:

– Describing his porn addiction to employees like it’s a TED Talk nobody asked for
– Oversharing his sex life like he’s on an unhinged episode of Dr. Phil: After Dark
– Making creepy comments about how hot his employees look (ew)
– Improvising on-set intimacy like he’s starring in Fifty Shades of Nope
– Casting his buddy — a proud MFA holder — to shove his face between an actress’s legs for a birth scene (who needs boundaries when you’ve got credentials, right?)
– Showing a video of his naked wife giving birth without asking, because consent is apparently just a suggestion in the Wayfarer Universe™
– Staring at topless employees like a live-action Red Flag
– Wandering into private trailers like a shirtless college roommate who “didn’t see the sock on the door”

We wish we were exaggerating. But nope. This is apparently the vibe over at Wayfarer Studios.

🎤 Final Thoughts?
We’re not legal experts (we just play them on the internet), but this entire situation is basically:

> “Blake says Justin’s behavior is gross and illegal.”
> “Justin says Blake is trying to steal his movie and hurt his feelings.”
> “Everyone else is sitting here wondering if Hollywood HR exists.”

Stay tuned, because this court drama is messier than a Met Gala afterparty — and we have a feeling it’s far from over.

🍿Coming soon to a courtroom near you: It Ends With Us… or Maybe It Just Gets Way Worse!
