Justin Baldoni prepares counter-complaint against Blake Lively

Justin Baldoni prepares ‘shock’ counter-complaint against Blake Lively.

The 40-year-old actor and director was accused by actress Lively of sexual harassment on the set of their movie It ends with us and, according to Daily Mailhe is now preparing to file legal papers of his own when the courts reopen after New Year’s Eve.

His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, also said deadline on Saturday: “I won’t talk about when or how many lawsuits we file, but when we do file the first lawsuit, it will 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 practice, I have never seen this level of unethical behavior intentionally fueled by media manipulation.”

The Mail reported that Baldoni’s trial will return Lively’s narrative that he and his crisis PR team had launched a smear campaign to “destroy” her reputation.
