Justin Baldoni’s lawyer stated at a pre-trial conference that the legal battle between his client and the couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has left Baldoni “financially and emotionally devastated.”
During a pre-trial conference on Monday (3), Bryan Freedman, Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, commented that the legal battle with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds is devastating his client “financially and emotionally.”
Lively and Baldoni starred together in the film “It Ends With Us.” On December 21, 2024, the actress sued the actor and director of the film for harassment, allegations denied by Baldoni.
He responded with a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds on January 16.
Baldoni has made public attempts to refute Lively’s allegations by releasing raw footage from the set of “It Ends With Us,” exposing alleged message exchanges between the two during the film’s production.
“Not wanting to sound like a 4-year-old arguing with another 4-year-old saying ‘they started it,’ but in these kinds of cases, once someone says something, it becomes a fact,” said the lawyer.
According to CNN, Blake Lively’s lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, stated that Justin Baldoni’s alleged “retaliation campaign” is also devastating his client.
The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
