Justin Baldoni’s Team Slams Blake Lively Over Her Request for Protective Order: ‘Another Chapter in the Abuse Playbook’

by

Justin Baldoni’s legal team criticized Blake Lively for seeking a protective order, arguing that she was exploiting this request to restore her damaged reputation and simultaneously restrict the public’s access to significant information related to their ongoing court case.

In simpler terms, a letter written by Baldoni’s legal team to the judge became public knowledge through various news outlets. This letter criticized the mother of four for attempting to write “another page in the book of alleged mistreatment.

We’re taken aback because, given how openly the parties involved in the case have discussed and pursued Ms. Lively’s claims in the media, it’s surprising to find out that she now wants to keep the public from viewing important and pertinent evidence.

The letter went on to explain that the actress famously known as Gossip Girl, together with her husband Ryan Reynolds, attempted to pitch their appeal to The New York Times, with the aim of rectifying her public reputation.

In simpler terms, the document noted that Ms. Lively’s legal representative and public speaker often try to clean up her damaged reputation by making strong comments to the media, for instance, describing the grievances of the Wayfarer Parties as ‘just another part of the abusive tactics playbook.’

During the SNL50 taping, lawyers for the actor from “Jane the Virgin” referenced a joke made by Ryan Reynolds regarding an ongoing legal matter.

In response to the opposition’s correspondence, Lively’s lawyers explained that the protective order request was made precisely for this situation. The dispute between the actress and the director of “It Ends With Us” originated six months following the movie’s theater release.

In a turn of events, Lively initiated a lawsuit against Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment during the movie’s production and conducting a malicious smear campaign. Surprisingly, Baldoni retaliated by filing a counter-suit weeks later, accusing the actress and her husband of extortion and defamation.
