Blake Lively has hit back at Justin Baldoni’s motion to dismiss her $161 million sexual harassment lawsuit in a new filing, arguing that her It Ends with Us director and co-star is trying to “avoid accountability” for the “hostile environment” he allegedly created on set.
Baldoni, 41, is being sued by Lively, 38, over claims that he and his public relations team orchestrated a sophisticated scheme to undermine her reputation in retaliation for speaking out about alleged on-set misconduct. The Jane the Virgin alum later countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for allegedly attempting to “destroy” his reputation and career. His lawsuit was officially tossed out last month after he failed to submit an amended complaint by an October deadline.
