Members of Justin Baldoni’s team are trying to keep some information hidden. The actor is being sued by his It Ends with Us co-star, Blake Lively, for alleged inappropriate behavior while they worked together on the movie. He and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, are facing charges of retaliation, breach of contract, and aiding and abetting retaliation.
Now, Justin’s public relations team are reportedly trying to keep the high-profile clients quiet. Melissa Nathan, who is on Justin’s so-called crisis PR team, has previously worked with big names like Johnny Depp and Rebel Wilson.
Blake Lively’s trial against Justin Baldoni is just weeks away
The legal battle between Blake and Justin is drawing near, and both sides are trying to gain an edge. Deadline reports that Justin’s group doesn’t want the jury to know of her past clients. They don’t want the jury to be privy to the names of celebrities she worked or any of the smear websites against Justin. They believe these are all irrelevant to the matter at hand.
At the same time, Blake is hoping for something to be hidden away as well. The actress allegedly wants the finances of her husband, Ryan Reynolds, to be kept a secret. She has reportedly filed documents to block the jury from hearing any details about that.
The latest move by those representing Justin comes amid a series of late motions being filed. This includes, among other things, an amended witness list. Last week, it was revealed that Justin would be among those testifying to the allegations against him and his company.
Earlier this month, 10 of the 13 charges against Justin and Wayfarer were dismissed. The actor had previously filed a countersuit against Blake after her allegations of poor treatment on set came to light. Those charges were also dropped by a judge. The lawsuit involving Justin and Blake gets underway on May 18.
