Lively, Baldoni Engage in Legal Battle Over Film

Justin Baldoni has filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Swift, claiming they exerted undue influence over the production of the film 'It Ends With Us.' The lawsuit alleges that Lively pushed for significant rewrites and created a hostile environment, putting pressure on Baldoni to accept changes. In response, Lively's legal team accused Baldoni of using 'the abuser playbook' to turn the tables on her after she filed her own lawsuit against him for sexual harassment. The legal battle has sparked intense media scrutiny, with Lively's team asserting their evidence will demonstrate that Baldoni's claims are retaliatory. Additionally, Baldoni has accused Lively of naming a drink after a character representing domestic abuse, further complicating the public perception of the case. Both parties are entrenched in a complicated narrative of victimhood and retaliation, with no resolution in sight.
