The lawsuit comes after Lively's suit against Baldoni in December
Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against his "It Ends With Us" co-star Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane, alleging pressure from Reynolds and Lively to let Lively take more ownership of the film's script. The countersuit mentions Taylor Swift as the "megacelebrity friend" who attended a meeting at Lively and Reynolds' home. Lively's alleged script alterations caused issues with the shooting schedule and financial strain on Baldoni's production company. The legal battle between Baldoni and Lively escalated with multiple lawsuits and allegations of smear campaigns. Baldoni's former publicist also sued him, Abel, Nathan, and Wayfarer, adding to the ongoing legal drama.
