Part 6/7:
Initially, the allegations laid out by Lively included claims of invasive sexual behavior by Baldoni, which she communicated to other producers in the hope of remedying the situation. However, she contended that instead of addressing her complaints, Baldoni sought to undermine her reputation and engaged the services of a crisis PR team.
Baldoni has countered these allegations by filing a separate lawsuit against the New York Times, asserting that an article published by the outlet was defamatory and mischaracterized the situation. He described his team’s legal actions against Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Stone as necessary steps in counteracting what he deemed as a harmful narrative perpetuated by the couple.
