Baldoni's attorney told NBC News that the director-star plans to sue Lively over her claims about a smear campaign and sexual harassment: "The question really in this case is, does it rise to the level of sexual harassment?

A New York Times story, now the source of a $250 million defamation lawsuit, insinuated that Kjersti Flaa collaborated with Baldoni's PR team to smear Lively. Flaa says she's the one being smeared.

Among several claims, the lawsuit accuses Ryan Reynolds and Blake of allegedly “berating” Justin in an “inappropriate and humiliating” manner at their NYC penthouse while other celebrity guests walked in and out.
