Baldoni and Lively's Legal Battle Escalates

The legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, both involved in the film 'It Ends With Us', intensifies with allegations of sexual harassment and smear campaigns. Lively claims Baldoni, who follows the Baha'i faith, upset her by claiming to communicate with her deceased father, Ernie Brown, and allegedly launched a retaliatory campaign against her. Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, denies these claims, arguing that any negative press arose organically and not from Baldoni's actions. Furthermore, Baldoni's legal team accuses Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane, of conspiring to damage Baldoni's reputation by leaking false stories. Sloane's attorney rebuts these accusations, suggesting they are a diversion from the serious allegations Lively has made against Baldoni. This complex case is set for trial in 2026, with both sides preparing to challenge each other's claims.
