  • The scandal surrounding "It Ends with Us" takes another turn, as a new suit points the finger at the Times for "libel and false light invasion of privacy" relying on "cherry picked" evidence.

Justin Baldoni, known for his role in "Jane the Virgin," has initiated legal action against The New York Times for copyright infringement.
