The legal battle between Justin Baldoni and his former co-stars continues to intensify as fresh allegations emerge online. Baldoni’s lawsuit accuses Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds of taking over the production and marketing of the film, despite his role as the director.
He also alleged that “the couple manipulated the media to smear his reputation and others on the production team by suing with alleged sexual harassment allegations.”
“This is a case about two of the most powerful stars in the world deploying their enormous power to steal an entire film right out of the hands of its director and production studio,” the statement claimed, as per Associated Press.

Bryan Freedman, Justin Baldoni’s attorney, revealed that the lawsuit includes substantial untampered evidence against Blake Lively and her team. He accused Lively of using edited and heavily doctored information to bolster her harsh allegations against Baldoni.
In a recent interview, Baldoni shared that he is leaning on "faith" and the unwavering support of his "amazing friends and family" as the case unfolds.
