Justin Baldoni faces legal action from Blake Lively in a federal lawsuit.

According to documents obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital, Blake Lively officially filed a lawsuit against her "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation on Tuesday.

On December 21, 37-year-old Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing him of sexual harassment while directing the drama.

She alleged that he, along with a crisis PR team, orchestrated a retaliation campaign aimed at ruining her career after raising concerns.

On Tuesday, Lively's federal suit was released, following Baldoni's $250 million defamation suit against the New York Times for an article containing inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions.

Lively's representatives informed Planet Chronicle Digital that the lawsuit does not alter the claims made in her California Civil Rights Department Complaint or her earlier federal complaint.

"The lawsuit against Wayfarer and others is founded on the false premise that Ms. Lively's administrative complaint against Wayfarer and others was a hoax based on a decision not to file a lawsuit against Baldoni, and that litigation was never her ultimate goal. However, as evidenced by the federal complaint filed by Ms. Lively today, this perspective is incorrect. Although we will not litigate this matter in the media, we urge individuals to read Ms. Lively's complaint in its entirety. We are eager to address each and every one of Wayfarer's allegations in court."

In her federal filing, the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" actress claimed that Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and several associates were part of a "deliberately planned, organized, and funded plan to suppress her and others from speaking out."

Baldoni, with the help of a crisis PR company, created a "multi-tiered plan" to damage her reputation after she and her husband Ryan Reynolds accused Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior" in a lawsuit.

According to documents, she claimed that Baldoni and Heath talked about their personal sexual experiences and past porn addiction on set.

Baldoni's representatives did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment. He previously told the Times that Lively's initial claims were false and intended to harm his reputation.

Lively was the subject of a smear campaign, as reported by the New York Times in a story titled "We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine," which included private emails and text messages showing a plan for waging a largely undetectable campaign against Lively. In response, Baldoni filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the newspaper.

The Times article, according to Baldoni and other plaintiffs, including Hollywood public relations gurus, intentionally left out portions of text exchanges and other information that contradicted Lively's version of events. They claim that the Times defamed them by doing so, leaving out critical context from communications that dispute many of Lively's claims.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by attorney Bryan Freedman, stated that the article's central thesis, as presented in a defamatory headline, was that plaintiffs orchestrated a retaliatory public relations campaign against Lively for speaking out about sexual harassment. However, this premise was categorically false and easily disproven.

According to Variety, Freedman claimed that the Times "yielded to the demands of two influential Hollywood figures, disregarding journalistic standards and ethics, by using manipulated and fabricated texts and selectively omitting information that contradicted their preferred public relations narrative."

An independent news organization's duty is to follow the facts wherever they may lead. Our story was carefully and ethically reported, based on a thorough examination of numerous original documents, including the text messages and emails we accurately and extensively quote in the article, as Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha stated to Planet Chronicle Digital.

"She continued, "We published their full statement in response to the allegations in the article, and we plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.""
