Justin Baldoni launched a site on Saturday that included a changed version of his $ 400 million defamation case against his “IT end with us” co-star, Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

In addition to the updated suit, Baldoni (41) shared a timeline for events – including texts and e emails involving the actors, intimacy coordinators and producers – as evidence to address Lively’s claims that she was sexually harassed on the set of the drama where he served as director.

“At the bottom, this is not a case of celebrities that snip against each other in the press,” argued Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, in the changed complaint. “This is a matter of two of the most powerful stars in the world that implement their enormous power to steal a whole movie right out of the hands of its director and production studio. Then, as Lively and Reynolds’ efforts could not win them, recognized What they thought they saw richly deserving that they turned their rage over their chosen scapegoat.

“To tolerate a year and a half of their behavior while remaining polite and professionals on each tour offered (Baldoni) and Wayfares no protection.”

“It ends with us was a troubled production that we take full responsibility for,” says the alleged draft statement. “We are very bored of everyone, we got upset to private and public. Blake Lively, Colleen Hoover, the whole role crew and the crew led with professionalism every step on the road, any negativity aimed at them is ours to own.”

We have always said that we are not perfect, and even though we are inadvertently making mistakes, we will always own them. We keep ourselves in charge, that is not a job but ours and it is part of being ‘man enough’.
