The actress and her "It Ends With Us" co-star were at each other's throats after the actress filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic work environment.

Justin Baldoni has denied the claims and recently filed a counterclaim claiming she tried to take the production away from him and used her ties to Reynolds and Taylor Swift to press it.

Lively slammed Baldoni for allegedly using manipulative tactics in his recently filed $400 million lawsuit against her and her husband, Reynolds.

Responding to Baldoni's lawsuit, which claims, among other things, that the Hollywood power couple concocted plans to kill his career, Lively's attorney released a statement accusing Baldoni of using an "abuser portrayal" in his new filing.

"This latest lawsuit by Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser's book," Lively's attorneys said, according to Daily Mail.

They added: "This is an age-old story: a woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation, and the abuser tries to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO. Denial. Assault. Reverse Victim Offender."

Elsewhere in his statement, the "Gossip Girl" star's attorney claimed that Baldoni's lawsuit is "retaliation" for her earlier lawsuit accusing him of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic workplace environment on the set of "It Ends With Us ".

The statement said Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios, "decided to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue press statements, launch frivolous lawsuits and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public's ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations." "

Lively's lawyers continued: "They are trying to shift the story to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she took creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni. The evidence will show that the cast and others had their own negative experiences with Mr. Baldoni and Wayfarer."

Glumina's lawyers noted in their statement that the production company Sony "asked Ms. Lively to oversee" her part in the film, which they then "selected for distribution and experienced tremendous success."

They continued: "Their response to sexual harassment allegations: she wanted it, it's her fault. Their justification for why it happened to her: look at what she was wearing."

The statement concluded: "In short, while the victim focuses on the abuse, the abuser focuses on the victim. The strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, does not rebut the evidence in Ms. Lively's complaint, and will not succeed."

Baldoni filed a lawsuit against Lively on Thursday, accusing her of trying to take his part in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestseller and of using her connections to Reynolds and Taylor Swift to pressure him into accepting one of her remakes for the film.

According to Daily Mailhe accused her of fighting the production even though she reportedly didn't read the book until filming began and still wanted to change many parts of the script.

In his filing, he stated that when the film entered pre-production, Lively allegedly asked to "pass" on the film's rooftop scene, in which her character, Lily Bloom, first meets his character, Ryle Kincaid. time.

Baldoni said he was "reluctant" to allow her to "remake this key scene" but "agreed to look at what she had put together", only to discover that she had changed the script "dramatically" from the original form.

When he offered "extremely mild resistance," Lively reportedly "kept quiet for a few days," and later said in an alleged text message that his reaction to her prescription "wasn't great for me" — or for Reynolds and someone Baldoni describes as "another mega-celeb friend," later identified as Taylor Swift.

Baldoni also noted that in the alleged kidnapping attempt, Lively went so far as to throw him and his family into the basement after they arrived on the red carpet for the film's premiere because she "demanded that he not attend."

The lawsuit read: "Security, acting as if there was an 'escape' threat, escorted Baldoni's group to the basement of the building."

"There, they were confined to a makeshift storage area surrounded by concession stands, with only folding tables and chairs arranged in a square," the document continued.

Elsewhere in the filing, he claims Lively also made fun of his body and suggested he get a nose job even though she "continued to break character" and "speak as herself and not as Lily Bloom, which was extremely confusing." for him.
