The “It Ends With Us” legal hell will never end. Blake Lively’s legal team did not mince words when it came to director Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against the actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook,” representatives for Lively’s legal team said in a statement to People. They also likened Baldoni’s strategy to DARVO, the shorthand for how abusers discredit their victims, which stands for deny, attack and reverse victim offender.
“Their response to sexual harassment allegations: she wanted it, it’s her fault,” the statement noted.
