The legal hatchet between Blake Lively and erstwhile co-star Justin Baldoni continues.
Lively, 38, celebrated what looked like a win when judge busted the $400million It Ends With Us lawsuit against due to missed deadlines.
Now, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman said the judge’s ruling is wide of the mark and insisted no deadlines had been missed.
Baldoni’s team also revealed that the reason he didn’t file an amended complaint – which led to Judge Lewis Liman entering a final judgement on Monday – was to preserve Baldoni’s right to appeal.
Freedman said: ‘The truth regarding this case continuously and completely gets distorted in the media.‘Even something as simple as a procedural update has resulted in a total mischaracterization.’
He went on: ‘At this point, we have to set the record straight: no deadlines were missed. Our clients chose not to amend their complaint to preserve appeal rights.
‘In the meantime, we are focusing on Ms. Lively’s claims. We remain fully committed to pursuing the truth through every legal and factual avenue available and look forward to our day in court.’
