Justin Baldoni‘s legal representative has strongly criticized the media’s portrayal of Blake Lively‘s lawsuit against the It Ends With Us actor and director, especially as they prepare for forthcoming countersuits that promise to change the narrative. This statement comes in light of serious allegations that have emerged in the public eye.

In a significant development last week, the acclaimed 37-year-old actress accused Justin of sexual harassment on set. She further alleged that he orchestrated a vicious smear campaign against her within the framework of her lawsuit, raising serious concerns about workplace ethics and conduct in the entertainment industry.

On Saturday (December 28), Justin‘s attorney, Bryan Freedman, announced that they are preparing to take decisive legal action against Blake, promising that their multiple lawsuits will “shock everyone” and reveal the truth behind the allegations.

In a detailed statement, Bryan outlined their forthcoming legal response, emphasizing that it represents “a deliberate pursuit of truth.” He indicated that they are committed to setting the record straight in a situation that has been marred by misinformation.

Furthermore, Bryan criticized the New York Times for its coverage of Blake‘s lawsuit, particularly regarding the publication of alleged messages exchanged between Justin and his team. He contended that the reporting lacked sufficient context and was misleading, which has contributed to the public misunderstanding of the case.

“This is not merely a response or countersuit — it’s a deliberate pursuit of truth,” he stated in a message shared with People. “This lawsuit will uncover and expose the false and destructive narrative that was intentionally engineered by a trusted media publication who relied upon dubious sources and neglected a thorough fact-checking process to verify the authenticity of these texts.”

He continued by asserting, “We possess an overwhelming amount of authentic evidence, including timelines and communications, which have not been altered or misrepresented. This stands in stark contrast to the manipulated New York Times article that was published on Saturday, December 21st, 2024.”

Bryan expressed his dismay, stating that he had “never witnessed such unethical behavior, fueled by those who wield their power to manipulate the truth.”

“This isn’t just an isolated incident; it reflects a troubling pattern in Hollywood and mainstream media, where careers and reputations are ruthlessly destroyed to maintain control,” he asserted. “Legacy media has historically weaponized their platforms to distort reality, exploit vulnerabilities, and ruin lives without facing any consequences. These impending lawsuits aim to challenge this corrupt system directly, ensuring that no individual or organization, regardless of their influence, can perpetuate this cycle of fear and devastation.”

He concluded with a powerful statement, declaring, “The truth will not only come to light — it will dismantle the illusions upheld by those who consider themselves untouchable.”
