Tuesday 31st December may have seen several individual celebrating New years eve but that is not so with It Ends With Us Co-stars. It was the day Justin Baldoni’s $250 Million Lawsuit was filed against the New York Times as well as Blake’s new lawsuit.
The actor sued the new outlet for allegedly being the platform used to circulate false narratives by Blake Lively. Apart from The New York Times, the lawsuit filing named 10 other plaintiffs including Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan.
Now The New York Times has responded to Justin Baldoni’s $250 million lawsuit in an exclusive statement to Page Six writing, “The role of an independent news organization is to follow the facts where they lead. “Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported. It was based on a review of thousands of pages of original documents, including the text messages and emails that we quote accurately and at length in the article.”
“To date, Wayfarer Studios, Mr. Baldoni, the other subjects of the article and their representatives have not pointed to a single error. We published their full statement in response to the allegations in the article as well. We plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”
To explain, The New York Times is asserting that Justin Baldoni’s $250 million lawsuit is without merit. And it turns out several social media users think so as well. One critic critically stated that the lawsuit was stupid writing, “So now we know exactly how stupid he is. There is no way they will be found liable in America for reporting what someone else factually said.”
Another added, “Taking on Megan Twohey – an exceptional investigative reporter who helped break #MeToo and had a movie made about her exemplary work taking down misogynist abusers – is a splendid idea! Especially for a shitty man whose whole deal was cosplaying allyship when he’s looking to rehab his image! Bravo, you sexist dumbfuck.”
A third critic revealed that Justin Baldoni’s $250 million lawsuit may not be pointless after all writing, “people can say that this lawsuit of Justin’s is pointless, but if he has genuine evidence (like the additional text messages he already revealed) that show that perhaps the journalist nitpicked which ones they’d focus on despite having others at their disposal that might change the narrative of the article, then it could be seen as a hit piece-or at the very least irresponsible journalism. And no one is above that just because of how long they’ve been a journalist, etc.”
So far, no court date has been set for the hearing but one thing is clear, the dispute is starting to look like the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp Case.
