Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni of Harassment: Industry Reacts!”

Blake Lively, the star of Gossip Girl and It Ends With Us, has filed a serious complaint against her co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. She claims that during filming, he sexually harassed her. Lively’s complaint also says that Baldoni’s public relations team used a sneaky tactic called astroturfing, where fake social media posts were created to paint her as a “difficult” person. After these claims, many people started criticizing Lively for her past actions, like some old interviews and her wedding on a plantation.

However, the situation has now flipped, with more and more people starting to side with Lively and question Baldoni instead. Support from the film industry is coming in for Blake, while Baldoni’s reputation is taking a hit. He even lost an award he received for supporting women.

Even though Baldoni’s lawyer has denied the allegations, he has seen challenges; he was dropped by his talent agency, WME. Others tied to Baldoni, including his podcast partners, are also distancing themselves from him. What’s more, a woman named Stephanie Jones, who used to work for him, has sued him for defamation and breaching their contract.

A legal expert thinks that if things keep going this way, Lively could potentially win a lot of money—maybe even up to $10 million. The expert noted that this situation is very much about reputations. Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are very rich, so this isn’t really about money but changing the public’s view of her.

Additionally, the expert compared this case to the famous Depp-Heard trial and suggested that there could be more surprises ahead, especially since Lively’s legal team reportedly has strong evidence.

Justin Baldoni now has a tough road ahead to save his career. With the support of big names like Sony and the author Colleen Hoover, Lively is standing strong. Sony even said they support her and criticize any attacks on her character.
