Justin Baldoni‘s Attorney Responds to Blake Lively’s $400 Million Lawsuit, Dismissing Harassment Claims as ‘A Creation of Technology’
Justin Baldoni‘s legal team refutes Blake Lively’s claims in a $400 million lawsuit, presenting evidence to disprove the harassment allegations and calling them a product of technology.
Legal Clash Over Allegations
Justin Baldoni has pushed back against Blake Lively’s request for a protective order, arguing that she had already made the harassment claims public. His legal team formally responded to her plea for additional privacy measures, stating that Lively had actively shared details of the case in the media.
Disputing the Claims
According to Baldoni’s lawyers, Lively disclosed confidential documents related to her complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. They also accused her public relations team of manipulating the narrative to mend her image. Additionally, they pointed to a skit on “SNL50” featuring Ryan Reynolds as further evidence of her efforts to shape public perception.

- Two birds with one stone Ellen DeGeneres not only made her wife happy but also successfully threw shade at the person who forced them both to “leave” the United States, all with a single action on her social media.
- Jimmy Fallon made his fans “hide their faces” with his “dishonest” behavior during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Angelina Jolie has proven that she has found her “peaceful harbor” in Akala, subtly hinting that she plans to “retire” from her career and return to being a woman focused on family.
Baldoni’s team argued that while they agreed with the court’s standard protective order, Lively’s request for an “attorneys’ eyes only” restriction was unwarranted. They noted that Lively herself had already made the case details public.
Lively’s Response and Concerns
Lively’s legal representatives countered Baldoni’s claims in a separate letter, stating that she initially tried to handle the matter privately but felt forced to file a lawsuit following what she described as retaliatory actions against her. They argued that advocating for workplace safety does not equate to forfeiting privacy and expressed concerns over the potential intimidation of witnesses.
Lively has also received threatening messages since speaking out, according to court filings. Her attorneys claim that the disclosure of certain legal documents would endanger her and others involved in the case.
As the legal battle intensifies, both sides continue to stand firm on their positions. Baldoni’s camp remains adamant that Lively’s allegations lack substance, while Lively seeks increased privacy and security. The outcome of this dispute may set a precedent for how high-profile harassment claims are handled in Hollywood.
