The famous American actor, the star of the movie "Never Again" Justin Baldoni is preparing a countersuit against his colleague, the American actress Blake Lively, who accused him of sexual harassment.
Representatives for the actor said he would "shock everyone" with his claim. According to the Independent, the lawsuit is now being set up. Once ready, the document will be filed in a US court. This will happen after the New Year holidays, when government agencies resume work.
The actor's attorney, Brian Friedman, said the actor's lawsuit will be "explosive" and take everyone by surprise. "I'm not going to talk about when and how many lawsuits we're going to file, but when we file our first lawsuit, it's going to be shocking to anyone who has been manipulated into believing a patently false story," the attorney told Deadline. According to the actor's representative, this court document will be accompanied by "real evidence" that he will rely on in Justin's defense. In the countersuit, insiders said, Baldoni said that it was actually Lively herself who defamed him. "I will use real evidence to tell the real story. In more than 30 years of practice, I have never seen this level of unethical behavior deliberately stoked by media manipulation," Friedman added. The lawyer called Lively's allegations "false, outrageous and hurtful in public."
Friedman alleged that Lively created problems on set even during the film's production. In particular, she "threatened not to show up on set and not to promote the film." This, according to the lawyer, led to the fact that the tape received very negative reviews.
Note that the 37-year-old Lively filed a lawsuit against her colleague on December 20. In an 80-page legal complaint, she claims Baldoni caused her "emotional distress" on set. According to her, he could enter her dressing room when she was naked and was interested in her intimate life. And also that he orchestrated a "smear campaign" against her. | BGNES
