Deadpool actor’s legal team Ryan Reynolds finally addressed the defamation of $ 400 million of Justin Baldoni against him when he went to the offensive.
This has arrived in the middle of the current demand between his wife Blake Lively and Baldoni, where he has been accused of sexual harassment and orchestrating a public smear campaign.
But in the lawsuit against Reynolds slapped in the same period of time, he accused Reynolds of calling him a “sexual predator” and even worked behind the scene to drop him from his WME talent agency.
This has led to a statement issued by the legal team of Reynolds, Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson, to applaud and say “the entire case of Mr. Baldoni seems to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a” Predator “, but here is the problem, that is not a defrite unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that this statement is true. “
“The complaint does not claim that, and quite the opposite, the accusations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds really believes that Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”
In your interview with The post The team also added: “Mr. Reynolds accused Mr. Baldoni, privately and in multiple complaints, sexual harassment and reprisals, and as Mr. Reynolds’s motion pointed out, Mr. Baldoni has also openly talked about his past of battered women and pressing the limits of consent.”
Then, “Mr. Reynolds has the right of the first amendment to express his opinion about Mr. Baldoni, which should be comforting for a group of people who have repeatedly called Mrs. Lively and the thugs of Mr. Reynolds and other names during the past year.”
The spokesman for Reynolds has also issued a similar statement: “The claims filed against Mr. Reynolds are simply a list of complaints that try to embarrass Mr. Reynolds for being the man that Mr. Baldoni has built his brand pretending that he is, a man who is” safe enough to listen to “the women of his life.”
So “we hope that this demand will be dismissed and collect the promise of $ 100 million of Steve Sarowitz recovering the costs of Mr. Reynolds and the fees of the lawyers incurred to launch this frivolous case.”
For those that Sarowitz not versed is the person responsible for financing the production company of Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios who created it ends with us.
