Emma Stone’s lawyers have fired back at actor Jason Baldoni’s lawsuit against her, labeling his claims “desperate” and “another chapter in the abuser playbook.” In a statement to E! News, Lively’s team called out Baldoni’s strategy of denying allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.
The team accused Baldoni of trying to shift the narrative that Stone “seized creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni,” but warned that evidence will show otherwise. They pointed to Sony Pictures’ decision to select Stone as the lead in a film, which went on to be a commercial success.
Lively’s lawyers also criticized Baldoni’s response to her allegations of harassment, saying he has tried to shift blame onto Stone, suggesting she was responsible for the alleged abuse. The team described this approach as “desperate” and stated that it will fail.
