'It is going to shock everyone': Justin Baldoni preparing counter-complaint against It Ends with Us co-star Blake Lively

Justin Baldoni is preparing a “shock” counter-complaint against Blake Lively.

The actor and director, 37, has been accused by actress Blake of sexual harassment on the set of their movie ‘It Ends With Us’ and according to the Daily Mail, he is now preparing to submit legal documents of his own when the courts reopen after New Year’s Day.

His lawyer Bryan Freedman also told Deadline Saturday: “I am not going to speak to when or how many lawsuits we are filing but when we file our first lawsuit, it is going to shock everyone who has been manipulated into believing a demonstrably false narrative.

“It will be supported by real evidence and tell the true story. In over 30 years of practicing, I have never seen this level of unethical behaviour intentionally fuelled through media manipulation.”

The Mail added Justin’s lawsuit will flip Blake’s narrative Justin and his crisis PR team allegedly planted a smear campaign to “destroy” her reputation.

Justin, 40, has denied the allegations made by Blake, with his lawyer describing the claims as “categorically false”.

Mr Freedman, who is acting as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company, told Variety: “These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
