Justin Baldoni Opposes Gag Order, Claims Blake Lively’s Move Is “Intimidation Tactic”
In a document submitted on Thursday, lawyers for Baldoni and his partners argue that the actions taken were essential to shield their clients from the repercussions of an article in The New York Times, which they describe as instigating the conflict by using selectively edited quotes and emails. They claim that the response to this story has been devastating, with the director of ‘It Ends With Us’ and his team being ostracized from polite society and facing financial losses estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of Ms. Lively’s aggressive media campaign.
