The lawsuit, reviewed by The Independent, claims the Times “relied almost entirely on Lively’s unverified and self-serving narrative” and disregarded “an abundance of evidence that contradicted her claims and exposed her true motives.”
Baldoni claims both Lively and the Times took the messages out of context.
Justin Baldoni, lead actor and director of It Ends With Us, has sued The New York Times over its reporting of his co-star Blake Lively’s sexual harassment allegations against him.
Her lawsuit contained several excerpts from text messages and emails between Baldoni, public relations executive Jennifer Abel and crisis management expert Melissa Nathan.
