Latest on the IT ENDS WITH US fight

According to Variety, IT ENDS WITH US star and director Justin Baldoni has accused Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds of “civil extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy.” He is seeking at least $400 million in damages.

Baldoni says the couple tried to hijack the movie; which Lively co-starred in, and sought to destroy him with false allegations of sexual harassment. “At bottom, this is not a case about celebrities sniping at each other in the press,” Baldoni’s lawsuit states. “This is a case about two of the most powerful stars in the world deploying their enormous power to steal an entire film right out of the hands of its director and production studio… When Plaintiffs have their day in court, the jury will recognize that even the most powerful celebrity cannot bend the truth to her will.”

Lively has also filed a complaint against Baldoni, accusing him of creating a smear campaign against her.

IT ENDS WITH US is now out on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD.
