\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tBlake Lively and Justin Baldoni in \u2018It Ends with Us\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSony<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tBaldoni, who has since been dropped by WME<\/a>, known as the allegations \u201ccompletely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media,\u201d by his lawyer Bryan Freedman.<\/p>\n \n\tStill, in a dense 10-claim criticism filed final week with the California Civil Rights Department, Lively particulars at size \u201cthe hostile work environment that had nearly derailed production of the Film\u201d and the multi-pronged \u201cAstroturfing\u201d marketing campaign that was allegedly launched towards her by self-declared feminist Baldoni and his firm.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer associates embarked on a sophisticated press and digital plan in retaliation for Ms. Lively exercising her legally-protected right to speak up about their misconduct on the set, with the additional objective of intimidating her and anyone else from revealing in public what actually occurred,\u201d declares the 80-page criticism, filled with seemingly damning textual content messages between Baldoni and \u201ccrisis communications specialist named Melissa Nathan, and her company The Agency Group PR LLC (TAG).\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tStephanie Jones, the founding father of Baldoni\u2019s personal former PR firm Joneworks, has since filed a lawsuit towards him<\/a>, Wayfarer Studios and publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel for defamation, breach of contract and extra. In the criticism, her legal professional accuses the actor of trying \u201cto publicly pin blame for this smear campaign on Jones\u2014when Jones had no knowledge or involvement in it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Baldoni is reportedly getting ready to file a counter-lawsuit<\/a> after the New Year, the Daily Mail<\/em> reported, claiming that it was Lively who carried out a smear marketing campaign towards him and allegedly introduced WhatsApp messages from Baldoni\u2019s group out of context in her criticism.<\/p>\n \n\tAlthough Freedman wouldn’t affirm or deny the pending countersuit, he informed Deadline, \u201cI am not going to speak to when or how many lawsuits<\/a> we are filing but when we file our first lawsuit<\/a>, 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 behavior intentionally fueled through media manipulation. It reminds me of what NBC tried to do to Megyn Kelly and Gabrielle Union and we all know how that ended up.
