The lawsuit is the latest legal action in a feud tied to the 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” which starred Ms. Lively and Mr. Baldoni, who also directed the film.

Baldoni's legal team leaked behind-the-scenes footage cited in Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit to select media outlets, prompting a harsh rebuke from her attorneys.

The letter argues that Freedman’s actions are basically a continuation of the retaliation campaign Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios allegedly started when Lively first called out Baldoni’s behavior on the set of It Ends With Us.
