Blake Lively’s legal team just dropped a late-night statement on January 6, and let’s just say, they’re not here for Justin Baldoni’s shenanigans—or his team’s alleged “more attacks.” Grab your popcorn, because this legal saga is serving blockbuster-level drama.
It all started when Blake and Justin co-starred in It Ends With Us, but apparently, the real drama wasn’t on-screen. Rumors of on-set tensions snowballed into a full-blown legal mess when Blake accused Justin of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. This tea was first spilled in a New York Times exposé, because of course, drama this juicy needs a prestigious platform.
Plot Twist: $250 Million Libel Lawsuit
Not one to sit quietly, Justin clapped back with a casual $250 million libel lawsuit against the Times. Not to be outdone, Blake leveled up with her own official lawsuit against Justin and his production company, Wayfarer Studios. We love a competitive spirit.
Justin’s lawyer recently promised to hit back harder, vowing to release every single text message between the two stars. Yes, every. Expect a flood of cryptic emojis and passive-aggressive punctuation coming to a courtroom near you.
Blake’s Lawyers Enter Beast Mode
In response to all this, Blake’s legal squad dropped a mic-worthy statement via People:
“This is not some petty ‘creative differences’ feud or a juicy ‘he said/she said’ debacle,” they said, presumably while adjusting their power suits. “Wayfarer Studios and its associates went full-on villain mode, engaging in unlawful, retaliatory astroturfing against Ms. Lively. And guess what? We’re gonna prove it.”
They didn’t stop there:
“Sexual harassment and retaliation? Illegal everywhere. Blaming the victim? Oldest trick in the book, and it’s not gonna fly here. Suggesting she ‘misunderstood’ or ‘brought it on herself’? Nope. Flipping the script to make Justin the ‘victim’? Nice try, but no.”
The lawyers made it clear that no amount of media drama is going to derail their case. “This isn’t about who can deliver the sassiest soundbite. It’s about the rule of law. We’ll see who has the receipts in federal court.”
The Verdict? Stay Tuned
With lawsuits, counter-lawsuits, and threats of text-message dumps, this real-life legal battle is more gripping than any rom-com. Whether you’re Team Blake or Team Justin, one thing’s for sure: Hollywood’s off-screen drama is unmatched. Stay tuned for the next episode of When Co-Stars Collide.
