Now, Blake Lively’s team has responded to The It Ends with us director, Justin’s lawsuit. They noted that the lawsuit is, “another chapter pulled from the abuser playbook.”“This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim.”
“This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender,” the statement ends. This statement begs the question, Is this really what happened? Should Justin Baldoni be crucified without really making his case just because a woman is involved?
Several men have gone to prison for rape on the hearsay of a woman only because she wanted to teach him a lesson. Should the It End with Us director not fight for his career? Or should he let it go? Justin Baldoni is resolved to see this to the end after making the mistake of allowing Coleen Hoover to influence his casting decision.
The lawsuit comes one month after Blake Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. On his part, Justin Baldoni claims Blake ambushed him by pressuring him to rewrite key scenes from the movie backed by her husband Reynolds and Taylor Swift.
