Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal dispute
In December, Blake filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin, which was followed by a New York Times article accusing Justin of orchestrating a negative publicity campaign against her. In response, Justin filed defamation suits against the Times and launched a $400 million lawsuit against Blake and Ryan Reynolds, claiming she used her celebrity influence to derail his career.
Recently, Justin’s legal team released raw footage of a scene at the centre of Blake’s harassment allegations. The scene, featuring the pair dancing romantically, captured a conversation in which Justin commented, “It smells good,” referring to Lively’s body makeup. Blake previously claimed the remark occurred in a silent environment with microphones off, but the clip, which includes audio, contradicts her claims.
The footage shows the actors laughing and joking on set, discussing their spouses and the scene’s choreography. Justin has also accused Blake of intimidating behaviour. The lawsuit further alleged Blake failed to read the novel the film is based on until filming was underway, manipulated text messages to paint Justin negatively, and orchestrated a “mear campaign” through her publicist.
