Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ask justice to reject Baldoni’s defamation process

Amid the exchange of behind -the -scenes accusations of “That’s how it ends,” the public fight involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, the protagonists, won another chapter.

Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, asked the court to reject Baldoni’s lawsuit against them worth $ 400 million – a pricing of $ 2.4 billion.

Party lawyers will meet in a court on Monday (3) for the first hearing. Before the meeting, the judge responsible for the case requested a statement that “would indicate in a sentence the defendant’s intention to make a motion of filing.”

According to the American magazine Variety, the actress’s lawyer said “Lively-Reynolds intend to file an action to reject the complaint,” said Michael J. Gottlieb. Already the defense team of Baldoni claimed to want the actress to give testimony as soon as possible.

At the end of December of last year, the actress filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and the main producer of “This is how it ends,” Jamey Heath, accusing them of sexual harassment and orchestrating a “defamatory campaign” against her during filming .

Baldoni, who is also director of the production, countered the couple and said they disclosed false allegations of sexual harassment. He also accuses artists of civil extortion, defamation and privacy invasion.
