Justin Baldoni is suing The New York Times over a story alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign against Blake Lively. Baldoni claims the Times ignored evidence and relied solely on Lively's narrative.

The New York Times published a story containing allegations that Justin Baldoni sexually harassed and attempted to damage the reputation of co-star Blake Lively . The story, which has caused a stir in Hollywood, alleges that the Times and Lively collaborated to discredit Baldoni.

A lawsuit filed by Baldoni and nine other plaintiffs, including the film's lead producer and a crisis communications expert, claims that the Times disregarded evidence that contradicted Lively's accusations and instead relied heavily on her account. Lively, who is not a defendant in the lawsuit, stated through her lawyers that the lawsuit does not change anything regarding her previous complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department. The Times story was published shortly after Lively filed her complaint, which typically precedes a lawsuit. Both Lively's complaint and the Times article alleged that Baldoni sought to destroy Lively's reputation if she disclosed her on-set concerns. Baldoni's lawsuit counters that the Times' reporting was biased and failed to present a balanced view
