Justin Baldoni's Lawyer Fires Back at Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Amid Legal Battle

Justin Baldoni's legal team isn’t backing down in their feud with Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. In a heated statement, Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, slammed the couple’s recent request for a gag order, accusing them of trying to silence the truth.

Freedman told TMZ that Lively’s push to prevent Baldoni’s team from speaking to the media is ironic, given her alleged desire for transparency. He accused Lively and Reynolds of using their Hollywood influence and connections to intimidate others, calling their actions a “calculated hit piece” orchestrated through their collaboration with The New York Times.

Baldoni is suing Lively for $250 million, alleging that she worked to damage his reputation by making false sexual harassment claims. According to Freedman, these allegations not only harm Baldoni but also undermine the integrity of the domestic violence community.

Freedman added that his client has concrete evidence to challenge the accusations, including text messages and unedited videos. A recent video shared by Baldoni's team shows the two actors interacting on the set of It Ends With Us, aiming to discredit Lively’s claims.

The gag order, requested by Lively and Reynolds earlier this week, argues that Freedman’s public comments are misleading and could bias a jury. However, Freedman made it clear his team will continue defending Baldoni with what he calls "pure, unedited facts."

This escalating legal drama is part of a larger $400 million lawsuit Baldoni filed against Lively, accusing her of defamation, civil extortion, and other claims. Lively’s team has dismissed the allegations as baseless, setting the stage for what promises to be a high-profile court showdown.

The case continues to unfold as both sides dig in their heels, leaving Hollywood and fans watching closely.
