It Ends With Us Drama: Blake Lively Calls Out Justin Baldoni Over ‘Scorched Earth’ Tactics; Details

It appears that Blake Lively, embroiled in a recent legal dispute with Justin Baldoni from their It Ends With Us project, has been vocal in her response towards him and his associates.

On Thursday, April 10th, lawyers Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, representing the director of Five Feet Apart, issued a statement to US Weekly. The statement expressed that the director, who previously monetized a brand centered on empowering and supporting women, has now become an advocate for dismantling the very law intended to safeguard women from issues like “sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination.

It was also noted that the California law, AB 933, was passed with the aim of preventing individuals accused of sexual harassment from using defamation lawsuits as a means to silence their accusers by driving them into bankruptcy.

As a loyal supporter, I’d like to share some insights from the actress’s legal team. They emphasized that the “threatening tactic of harsh litigation, often referred to as ‘scorched earth,’ can be deeply intimidating for victims, implying either remain silent or face ruin.” Furthermore, they mentioned that on Thursday, they submitted a “response brief” on her behalf, which is part of her ongoing effort to have the lawsuit brought by Baldoni dismissed, as reported by the media outlet.

The statement goes on to say that, according to the actress’s court filing, the Wayfarer group attempted to retaliate against the Age of Adeline star by filing a counter-lawsuit in response to her speaking out about the sexual harassment she experienced on set. Not only did this attempt fail miserably, but it also left them vulnerable to significant financial losses.

In addition, the attorneys for the actress expressed that she intends to continue demonstrating solidarity with all the victims. They emphasized that they shouldn’t feel isolated and should speak up, assuring them that the legal system supports them.

The Wayfarer Parties seem to have found themselves in a complicated situation when trying to make a defamation claim against Lively. This claim, however, appears to be either time-barred by the statute of limitations or entirely encompassed within her previous legal complaints, which they acknowledge cannot serve as a basis for any valid claims.

The ongoing courtroom dispute between the two stars of It Ends With Us has become a hot topic of conversation among internet users.

In December 2024, the situation became more serious when the actress claimed that the actor had sexually harassed her and started a “defamation campaign” against her.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: I took a stand myself. I filed a staggering $400 million defamation suit against the actress, her partner Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist Leslie Sloane, due to their harmful allegations. Additionally, I filed a $250 million libel suit against The New York Times for publishing accusations made by the A Simple Favor star, according to news reports.
