Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Legal Battle Intensifies

The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, co-stars of 'It Ends with Us', has intensified with new developments. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation, while Baldoni has countersued for defamation. Lively's team criticized The Hollywood Reporter for a controversial cover image and article that they claim perpetuates sexist stereotypes. Amidst the legal proceedings, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, have reported receiving violent and threatening communications, prompting them to seek additional protective measures for sensitive information. The case has attracted significant public and media attention, with figures like SNL's Lorne Michaels reportedly showing interest. Lively's lawyers argue that the release of private information could exacerbate threats and potential witness intimidation, as the trial process continues with no settlement in sight.
