Director Justin Baldoni filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against The New York Times regarding their December 2023 article about sexual harassment allegations against him. The lawsuit claims the Times and Blake Lively coordinated a smear campaign, relying on Lively's unverified narrative and disregarding contradictory evidence. Baldoni's lawsuit lists the Times, Lively, and others as defendants.
Justin Baldoni attends the world premiere of"It Ends with Us" at AMC Lincoln Square on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, in New York.
Written by Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire and Julie Tate, the story was published just after Lively filed a legal complaint that is usually a predecessor to a lawsuit with the California Civil Rights Department over her alleged treatment. A spokesperson for the Times, Danielle Rhoades, said in a statement that “our story was meticulously and responsibly reported.”
Lively is not a defendant in the lawsuit. Her lawyers said in a statement that “Nothing in this lawsuit changes anything about the claims advanced in Ms. Lively’s California Civil Rights Department Complaint.”
