Justin Baldoni’s lawyer launched a public website containing documents concerning the legal battle of the actor and the director with actress Blake Lively.
The website published on Saturday two days before the first hearing of the court in the very publicized case, which is scheduled for Monday.
Baldoni and Lively, which cost the 2024 film “It ends with US”, were confused on the accusations of sexual harassment of Lively against Baldoni on the project and subsequent professional reprisals. Baldoni denied the allegations of Lively, saying that she and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, in fact sought to destroy her career after having diverted the creative direction from her film.
Until now, the website contains two public documents, which have already been filed in court: the modified complaint of $ 400 million in Baldoni against Lively and Reynolds, plus a “calendar of relevant events of 168 pages”, which was deposited as an additional Baldoni piece modified by Baldoni modified by Baldoni de Baldoni. complaint.
“The decision to modify our trial was a future logical step due to the overwhelming quantity of new evidence that was revealed,” Freedman told CNN in a statement on Saturday.
CNN has also contacted representatives for Lively and Reynolds concerning the website.
The Baldoni team said it had “nothing to hide”.
Last month, Baldoni representatives shared images of a filmed scene for “it ends with us”, which, according to them, refuted some of Lively’s claims. His lawyers, however, said: “Each frame of the released images corroborates, to the letter, which Ms. Lively described in paragraph 48 of her complaint.”
The Lively team asked for media restrictions on Freedman to “ensure that the procedure before this court is not detrimental to the conduct of the lawyer outside the courtroom,” wrote his lawyers in a Letter to the judge last month. They also indicated that they would seek to reject the case of Baldoni against them.
Lawyers on both sides on Monday must be due to the New York court for a hearing in the case. Neither Baldoni nor Lively should be present, a source knowing the planned procedure told CNN.
The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
