Blake Lively has escalated her legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni by filing a formal lawsuit against him.
The New Year’s Eve filing came less than two weeks after she filed a legal complaint accusing him of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment, and orchestrating a retaliatory social media campaign to tarnish her reputation.
The previous complaint—a precursor to a lawsuit—was filed with the California Civil Rights Commission, but the new lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York.
