Justin Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman responded to Blake Lively's motion to dismiss his client's defamation lawsuit against the 'It Ends With Us' star, calling it 'one of the most abhorrent examples of abusing our legal system.

Following Lively issuing a complaint in December over Baldoni and key stakeholders in the film sexually harassing her and orchestrating a smear campaign against her before turning the claims into a lawsuit, Baldoni fired back with a civil lawsuit against both Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds in January.

Blake Lively is asking a judge to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against her, arguing that her “It Ends With Us” co-star is “weaponizing” his own defamation claim to retaliate against her for publicly speaking out about her sexual harassment accusations against him.
