Justin Baldoni's legal team have accused Blake Lively of inventing "revoltingly false" allegations.
The 37-year-old actress filed a lawsuit against her 'It Ends with Us' co-star and director, as well as his publicists and producing partners, on 20 December accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a bid to tarnish her reputation, and last week he and his production company hit back by launching a lawsuit, in which he is seeking $400 million damages for extortion and defamation.
