Justin Baldoni’s lawyer promised to refile four claims against Blake Lively but he missed the deadline to do so, and now he tells us his client “will be pursuing additional legal options” against Blake, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, Justin Baldoni’s Lawyer Bryan Freedman revealed that they are proceeding with discovery in the Lively case and they are confident they will be able to prove there was no harassment or any smear campaign, as Blake alleges.
Freedman is also brushing off the fact a judge earlier this month threw out Baldoni’s lawsuits against Blake, Ryan Reynolds and The New York Times.
Justin Baldoni ‘s lawyer added that “The Court’s decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth … we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations.”
Freedman was on “TMZ Live” a couple weeks ago when he told us the judge left open the door for Baldoni’s lawyers to amend 4 of their 7 original claims against Blake … he said they would do so, but the deadline came and went without a filing.
Baldoni’s lawyer now says … “Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us.”
A rep for Blake told TMZ … “The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni-Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety. In the days that followed, Baldoni’s lawyer said the judge’s decision to dismiss their case was not a big deal as they promised to amend and refile it. As per usual, that was not true. The Court’s dismissal of Baldoni’s sham lawsuit was a total victory after all.”
