Blake Lively accuses ‘It Ends With Us’ costar of abusing the courts with countersuit

Blake Lively is seeking to dismiss Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit, claiming it is a retaliation for her sexual harassment accusations against him, according to her legal team.
Attorneys for Lively argue she is protected under a California law that prevents retaliatory defamation lawsuits concerning sexual harassment allegations, as noted by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Baldoni accuses Lively of collaborating with the New York Times on a story that he claims is self-serving and aimed at destroying his career, allegations he denies.
Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband, has also filed to be dismissed from the lawsuit, arguing that his comments about Baldoni reflect his protected opinion as a supportive spouse.
