In Lively’s original complaint filed earlier last month, the Gossip Girl actress alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her on set, including showing her “nude videos or images of women to Blake” and discussing alleged past “pornography addiction.” The filing also accused Baldoni of hiring a PR team that “engaged in a sophisticated, coordinated, and well-financed retaliation plan” to sway public opinion in his favor.
In response to the claim, Freedman denied the allegations to the NYT and accused Lively of filing a “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious” complaint to “fix her negative reputation.”
In her own statement to the outlet, Lively said, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.”
Now, read on to see how celebrities have reacted to Lively’s filing.
