On Thursday, Justin Baldoni sued Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation, equivalent to 4.5 billion kronor. Now she responds via her lawyers.
"This is an ancient story: A woman has concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation, and the perpetrator tries to turn it against the victim," say Lively's lawyers in a statement to E! News.
"In short, while the victim focuses on the abuse, the perpetrator focuses on the victim. The strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, and it will fail," they write further.
The feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is about her accusing him of sexually harassing her during the filming of the movie "It Ends with Us". He is then said to have launched a smear campaign against Lively with the help of a PR firm. Baldoni, on the other hand, claims that it is Lively who has driven a smear campaign against him.
