Lively Blake and Justin Baldoni’s controversy sparks further: Baldoni is facing another lawsuit against him.
Director and actor Justin Baldoni’s problems are not going to settle any soon as he faces another legal complaint against him by his previous publicist, Steph Jones. It is a breach of contract complaint against Baldoni, which is completely a coincidence among the ongoing unwanted sexual advances and unprofessional behavior complaint by his co-star Blake Lively. This new lawsuit is filed in New York this week.
As per the reports of The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker, and actor of the famous movie “It Ends With Us” is allegedly accused of highly unprofessional behavior and misconduct during the shooting of the movie. This movie is a cinematic version of Colleen Hoover’s Best-selling novel ‘It Ends With Us’. Justin Baldoni came into an agreement and signed a contract with the PR agency Jonesworks, chaired by his former press officer, Steph Jones. This agreement was worth USD 25,000/month.
Regardless of the conditions of the contract, in the month of August, Baldoni ended his business association with Jonesworks at the time of the movie premier of ‘It Ends With Us’, which is said to be a sheer coincidence. The whole PR work was later assigned to a new firm Jennifer Abel.
Reportedly, Steph Jones filed a lawsuit against Baldoni for breaching their contract by violating the agreed terms of it. Moreover, Jones has also accused new PR Firm head, Jennifer Abel and Co-publicist Melissa Nathan of plotting against them with Baldoni damaging their professional image. Surprisingly, Jones also commented that Baldoni along with his publicist are knowingly targeting Lively Blake as the reply to her sexual harassment lawsuit against him.
Blake lively filed a legal complaint against Baldoni a while ago for unwanted sexual advances on the sets of their movie. She further alleges that Baldoni used to trouble her with unplanned scenes including kissing and physical contact scenes on the sets. She further claims that Baldoni uses several verbal descriptions of his life that is his sexual experiences and addictions which caused discomfort to the actress.
The Deadpool actor Ryan Reynold the husband of the actor of the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ also supported his wife and gave him rare insight into his personal life. There are multiple actors and celebrities supporting Blake and posting in favor of Blake. Lively Blake says that she must raise her voice against the inappropriate behavior and conduct of his co-actor and director Baldoni to stop such incidents.
