Baldoni and Lively have been at odds since the now-endless It Ends With Us press tour, after which rumors of sexual harassment allegations spilled into the press. By the end of Us, Baldoni had filed suit against the Times for its bombshell story accusing him of harassing Lively and orchestrating a smear campaign against him.

The actor-director has accused his "It Ends With Us" costar and her husband of hijacking the film and destroying his reputation. He is requesting at least $400 million in damages.

Justin Baldoni has filed a countersuit against his "It Ends With Us" co-star Blake Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloane and her husband Ryan Reynolds, dramatically escalating the legal battle over their tumultuous collaboration on last year's romantic drama.
