Breaking News: Justin Baldoni to Sue It Ends with Us Costar Blake Lively ‘Soon’ Following Her Sexual Harassment Complaint…see more
“We plan to release every single text messages between the two of them,” Freedman told NBC News.
“We want the truth to be out there. We want the documents to be out there. We want people to make their determination based on receipts.” Freedman did not provide a timetable in terms of when Baldoni’s countersuit will be filed, but a source with knowledge of the lawsuit said it will be filed “soon.”
It will be in response to Lively’s allegations in her Dec. 20 complaint, in which she claimed that Baldoni’s alleged behavior while making It Ends with Us and during its promotion caused her “grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety.”
Lively’s complaint includes allegations that during production he showed her explicit images and videos, asked her about her personal sex life and attempted to add intimate scenes to the film that she had not originally agreed to.
Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and It Ends with Us producers Jamey Heath and Steve Sarowitz, along with Jed Wallace, and publicists Nathan and Abel are named as plaintiffs in that lawsuit.
