Justin Baldoni's attorney has rubbished Blake Lively's amended lawsuit

He said in a statement: "Her underwhelming amended complaint is filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims."

Blake's amended complaint claims that two other actors on the movie have agreed to testify against Justin.

But Bryan has launched a staunch defence of his client, explaining that Justin has been "transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry picked to the media".

He added: "Since documents do not lie and people do, the upcoming depositions of those who initially supported Ms. Lively's false claims and those who are witnesses to her own behaviour will be enlightening. What is truly uncomfortable here is Ms. Lively's lack of actual evidence."

Blake has accused Justin, 41, of causing her "severe emotional distress".

The movie star - who played Justin's on-screen love interest in 'It Ends with Us' - previously told the New York Times newspaper: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted."

Justin - who also directed the 2024 romantic drama film - later denied the allegations, with his lawyer describing the claims as "categorically false".

Bryan, who is acting as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company, told Variety: "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."
