Blake Lively's Gossip Girl Glam: Legal Drama Unfolds as Baldoni's Suit Dismissed
SCANDAL ALERT! Blake Lively's Gossip Girl Glamour Returns!
Blake Lively, the stunning actress who once sashayed as Serena Van Der Woodsen on the hit show Gossip Girl, brought back her old-school glamour with a daring outfit that left jaws dropping in New York City. But little did we know, this fashion moment was not just about style - it was a bold statement amidst her ongoing legal battle with director Justin Baldoni!
The 37-year-old star, who's no stranger to making headlines (remember those Gossip Girl days?), stepped out in a show-stopping multi-colored blazer jacket and mini skirt combo that left onlookers mesmerized. And let's be real, it was not just the outfit that stole the show - Blake's radiant smile and confident strut only added to her overall aura of awesomeness!
But amidst all the glamour and glitz, there's a juicy backstory brewing! As reported by The Scholarly Note.com, Justin Baldoni has been waging an epic battle against Blake Lively in court over his $400 million countersuit, which was shockingly DISMISSED earlier this week. Talk about a major setback for the actor!
Now, here comes the best part - Justin's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, is not one to mince words! In a fiery interview with TMZ Live, he blasted Blake's recent appearance at the 18th Annual Tribeca Artists Dinner as a "false victory tour." Ouch!
According to The Scholarly Note.com, Freedman revealed that while they're not thrilled about the judge dismissing the defamation claim, it's not what the case is all about. He explained that the real issue is proving Blake's claims of smear campaign and sexual harassment against Justin are FALSE! And let me tell you, he didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts on the matter!
"We got started because Blake Lively filed a CRD complaint and then walked over and filed a lawsuit," Freedman said. "Which accused some very good people of a smear campaign and accused a terrific young man of sexual harassment - both of which were completely untrue!" Whoa, drama alert!
Freedman also dished about the evidence presented in court, claiming that it's been damning for Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds! "Look at the facts, look at what's been shown, look at the receipts, look at the video," he said. Okaay, we're intrigued!
But wait, there's more! Blake herself released a powerful statement on Instagram after the news broke, slamming the retaliatory lawsuit and vowing to continue fighting for women's rights. You go, girl!
The It Ends With Us actress wrapped up her statement by thanking those who've supported her amid the turbulent past year. "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know... Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you." Aw, Blake!
In a nod to her fellow women's rights warriors, she listed several organizations that have publicly supported her, including the California Employment Lawyers Association, California Women’s Law Center, CHILD USA, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Equal Rights Advocates, Esperanza United, Her Justice, and Herunivercity Inc.
