It Ends With Us' Actor and Director and His Publicists Sue The Times for Libel
Briefly

The lawsuit, which seeks $250 million in damages, accuses The Times of uncritically accepting a self-serving narrative by Blake Lively, suggesting that Baldoni's team harmed her reputation.
The article’s central thesis, encapsulated in a defamatory headline designed to immediately mislead the reader, is that plaintiffs orchestrated a retaliatory public relations campaign against Lively for speaking out.
Mr. Freedman asserted a counternarrative that Ms. Lively wrested control of the film from Mr. Baldoni and attempted to plant stories that damaged his reputation.
In response, The Times stated they plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit, emphasizing their article was meticulously reported and based on original documents.
