Get Ready for a Dramatic Twist in the Ongoing Celebrity Battle
Hollywood’s latest legal battle is heating up as Justin Baldoni prepares to countersue Blake Lively, following her allegations of misconduct on the set of It Ends with Us. Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, has teased the upcoming filing, claiming it will “shock everyone” with evidence that challenges the narrative presented by Lively’s team.
Lively’s December 20 complaint accused Baldoni of harassment during filming, including inappropriate comments and behavior. Baldoni has denied the claims, calling them part of a smear campaign. Freedman insists the countersuit will expose “manipulated narratives” and shed light on unethical tactics used to damage Baldoni’s reputation.

“This is a deliberate pursuit of truth,” Freedman stated, adding that the filing will reveal how media manipulation and out-of-context messages were used against his client. The countersuit will also address claims that Lively’s team engineered a publicity campaign to harm Baldoni’s career.

Insiders close to the dispute have pointed to longstanding tensions between the two stars, describing their working relationship as strained. They also questioned the timing of Lively’s complaint, suggesting it coincided with recent negative publicity to divert attention.
The legal drama has already impacted Baldoni, who was dropped by his agency and stripped of an honor from Vital Voices. However, his countersuit aims to not only clear his name but also expose deeper issues within Hollywood’s media ecosystem.
