Justin Baldoni has shaken things up in the courtroom. He's extended his lawsuit, adding the New York Times and possibly big name Rich Reynolds to an already explosive mix. Now it calls out the newspaper for getting information way too early. He says it all got off to a bad start when other people's lies to the publication began, tarnishing the director's image. This is ridiculously complicated.

        So what's the deal? The issue started when  it was rumored that Baldoni and his team tried to hit back at Blake Lively for the harassment claims she made. They tried to hurt her reputation on the set of It Ends With Us.  The Times jumped on the story, publishing a lengthy expose based on claims by Lively. According to the updated lawsuit, the newspaper says they got the story from helpful sources.

        But did they? Baldoni's team says the newspaper had the story long before it was made public. They say that a report called “We Can Bury Anyone”: Inside the Hollywood machine was published by the Times. This was made possible because people close to Blake Lively spent months feeding the media burner. Lively herself didn't sue until December 31st. Lively's complaints began whirling into action months before that. Back in October.  The story, Conner and her PR team got the ball rolling. It was followed by a well-crafted video a week before the story went live. Then, The Times finally asked Baldoni for a comment. A story was published right away.

        It's not about the details about the suit.  They think The Times heard rumors and it not so truthful. The complain goes on to claim they do not know who was talking these stories . People close to Blake Lively and her defense team. It could even be possibly Ryan Reynolds.  We know that the movie was made before the release of the film.  The Times says they got their sources from the time Reynolds is doing to ask for help on the filming.  The Times denied these allegations.

        The lawsuit to the hands of Lawyer Bryan Freedman.  Allegedly he was involved in the production of Lively's character and the nature of her defense.  The suit points out the character to be imaginary and based on real facts.  The projected he came up with in his mind was mocked.  The character was killed off. The lawsuit includes a request for at least $400, 000, 000 in compensation.

        A big chunk of truth is missing on this issue.
