“If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you.”
What is the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni conflict about?
The legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has been making headlines. It all started when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. Lively’s allegations include inappropriate behavior on the set of their film “It Ends With Us,” such as showing her nude photos and discussing his genitalia, as per Law and Crime.
In response, Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, claiming civil extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy. Baldoni’s legal team has strongly denied Lively’s allegations, calling them false and outrageous. The case has garnered significant media attention, with both parties making public statements and filing multiple lawsuits. The outcome of this high-profile legal battle remains to be seen, but it has certainly captured the public’s interest.
