As alleged in Ms. Lively\u2019s complaint, and as we will prove in litigation, Wayfarer [Studios] and its associates engaged in unlawful, retaliatory astroturfing against Ms. Lively for simply trying to protect herself and others on a film set. And their response to the lawsuit has been to launch more attacks against Ms. Lively since her filing.\u201d\n<p>\u201cSexual harassment and retaliation are illegal in every workplace and in every industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA classic tactic to distract from allegations of this type of misconduct is to \u2018blame the victim\u2019 by suggesting that they invited the conduct, brought it on themselves, misunderstood the intentions, or even lied. Another classic tactic is to reverse the victim and offender, and suggest that the offender is actually the victim. These concepts normalize and trivialize allegations of serious misconduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost importantly, media statements are not a defense to Ms. Lively\u2019s legal claims. We will continue to prosecute her claims in federal court, where the rule of law determines who prevails, not hyperbole and threats.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A source revealed how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/ryan-reynolds\/\" title=\"Ryan Reynolds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2025\/01\/03\/how-ryan-reynolds-really-responded-to-justin-baldoni-fat-shaming-blake-lively-according-to-an-insider\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">responded to <strong>Justin<\/strong> \u201cfat shaming\u201d <strong>Blake<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2&appId=145071315902360\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2025\/01\/07\/blake-livelys-lawyers-release-new-statement-slam-justin-baldonis-team-for-more-attacks-since-her-filing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blake Lively\u2018s legal team is speaking out in a new statement that was released on late Monday night (January 6) amid \u201cmore attacks\u201d from Justin Baldoni\u2018s team.
