This is getting crazy.
Basically, Lively raised concerns of sexual harassment on the set of the film, “It Ends With Us,” by filing a Civil Rights Department complaint. Baldoni and his team retaliated against her, leaking unflattering press to try to ruin her professional reputation.
So, she sued him for sexual harassment and retaliation. The New York Times picked up the story and wrote an article which contained some information from her complaint (which typically remain confidential).
Then Baldoni sued the New York Times for $250 million for releasing what he calls misinformation that relied heavily on Lively's self-serving narrative.
Then he sued both Lively and Ryan Reynolds for $400 million for defamation and extortion. He claims they tried to take over the production and marketing of the film. He also claims the insufferable and man-bun-sporting Nicepool character in Deadpool & Wolverine is meant to be a mockery of him by Reynolds.
