Justin Baldoni has firmly retaliated to Blake Lively’s allegations regarding her career losses due to him allegedly orchestrating a narrative against her.
The 42-year-old filmmaker asserted that her business losses are due to bad business strategies rather than a smear campaign like she claimed.
Ahead of the It Ends With Us trial, Baldoni’s lawyers claimed that the Gossip Girl alum is just bad at business, during the pre-trial hearing on Tuesday, April 28.
The Jane the Virgin actor’s legal team alleged that Lively works only “sporadically” and thus the claim that she could’ve earned $132 million in the next five years isn’t valid, according to the Daily Mail.
Baldoni’s lawyer Amir Kaltgrad claimed that Lively had a “scattered work history,” arguing that there is “evidence she didn’t want to work full time,” and noted that she only earned $21 million from multiple projects in the eight years before the legal drama.
Adding to the “bully” narrative, the legal team brought up Kate Middleton’s photoshop drama to indicate a pattern of negative behaviour which created a negative reputation in public.
Notably, the Simple Favor actress took a dig at the Princess of Wales when she seemingly shared a photoshopped picture of her family, by sharing one of hers cartoonishly edited picture on social media.
