Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively: Who’s Suing Whom?

Blake Lively is suing director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation.

In December , Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni , alleging that she suffered emotional distress from her costar and director.

Baldoni soon clapped back with lawsuits of his own, suing The New York Times for libel as well as Lively.

A lawsuit is filed by Stephanie Jones , founder and CEO of Jonesworks , and former publicist for Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios , alleging breach of contract.

In it, Jones accuses Baldoni of “waging a coordinated effort to undermine her and deflect blame for what she calls a retaliatory smear campaign targeting Lively,” a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court .

Lively files a complaint, in federal court, accusing Baldoni , producer Jamey Heath of engaging in “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior”.

Justin Baldoni , Wayfarer Studios , Heath, Nathan , and Abel jointly file a new suit against Lively , Reynolds , and their publicity reps.

The joint suit seeks at least $400 million in damages.

The 179 -page lawsuit accuses Lively and Reynolds of civil extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy.

The lawsuit regurgitates many of the claims Baldoni made in his suit against The New York Times .
