Wrong Move? Justin Baldoni Sues New York Times Over Blake Lively Story Instead After Actress Filed Another Lawsuit
TBN previously reported that Justin Baldoni will be putting up a fight to salvage his career after the Blake Lively sexual harassment suit. However, instead of suing the actress, the actor chose to file a $250 million lawsuit against the New York Times.
The rationale was that they published a story he claimed to be deceptive about his “It Ends With Us” costar Blake Lively’s sexual harassment allegations. The Simple Favour actress has also filed filed a second lawsuit on Tuesday this time accusing him of several misconduct.

It ranges from sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages. However, Justin Baldoni chose to sue New York Times in a 87-page complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit primarily argues that the outlet committed “fraud and breach of implied-in-fact contract.”
And in fact, stated that Blake Lively’s claims in their story are false but that the outlet disregarded evidence that shows she was lying. The New York Times lawsuit filing named 10 plaintiffs which include Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan. These are the publicists who accused the outlet of “libel and false light invasion of privacy.”
Recall that TBN previously reported that Justin Baldoni’s legal team has shocking evidence. One such evidence is the actress’s choice of pattern of case filing. The filing says it was no accident that she chose to file a complaint against a sexual harassment complaint against Wayfarer Studios on Dec. 21 instead of a lawsuit.
The complaint instead of a lawsuit availed her of “a choice that spared her from the scrutiny of the discovery process, including answering questions under oath and producing her communications.” “It Ends With Us” actor and director New York Times lawsuit filing also noted that Ryan Reynolds berated him for “fat-shaming” his wife, Blake Lively.
The actor asserted that the confrontation took place at the Hollywood power couple’s New York City penthouse during the movie’s production. One thing is becoming clear, the second part of the movie might not see the light of the day.
