Justin Baldoni has sued his “It Ends with Us” costar Blake Lively, accusing her of hijacking the movie and destroying his reputation. He and a group of plaintiffs are seeking $400 million in damages.
The 179-page suit filed Thursday in a US District Court in New York also names Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her PR rep, Leslie Sloane, as defendants.
In the suit, Baldoni, his associates at Wayfarer Studios, and PR reps repeat some of the accusations they made in a previous libel suit against The New York Times. The Times reported on December 21 on Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment against Baldoni.
The suit accuses Lively of taking over the movie, trying to destroy Baldoni and his associates’ reputations, and seeking to drive them out of business.
Lively reps and Sloane didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
A Lively rep has previously told Business Insider that the claims she made in her California Civil Rights Department complaint and a similar federal complaint still stand.
