The lawsuit is the latest legal action in a feud tied to the 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” which starred Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni, who also directed the film.

Amid the seemingly never-ending drama surrounding “It Ends With Us,” Justin Baldoni’s attorney is saying his client will not be silenced by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ calls for a gag order. The A-list couple requested a judge put a stop to what they called a “retaliatory media campaign” on Tuesday — the same day Baldoni’s team leaked behind-the-scenes footage intended to dispel Lively’s claims of sexual harassment on the set of the film.

"It seems that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act," Freedman said in defense of his actions.
