  • Actor and director Justin Baldoni has sued The New York Times newspaper for libel after it published allegations that he had sexually harassed and tried to smear the reputation of his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively.

Justin Baldoni, known for his role in "Jane the Virgin," has filed a libel lawsuit against The New York Times following an article that suggested he harassed actress Blake Lively during the filming of their movie "It Ends With Us." The article, which was published in the entertainment section, implied that Baldoni's behavior on set was inappropriate, leading to discomfort among the cast and crew. Baldoni's legal team argues that these allegations are baseless and damaging to his reputation, asserting that the interactions between him and Lively were professional and consensual. The lawsuit claims that The New York Times failed to verify the facts before publishing, resulting in significant emotional distress and professional harm to Baldoni. The case has sparked discussions on media responsibility and the impact of unverified claims on public figures.
