Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal battle has unfolded new surprising details ahead of their court face-off.
In new shocking development, the real reason he filed a counter lawsuit against his It Ends With Us co-star has been revealed.
The 41-year-old actor and director took legal action against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds for multi-million dollar, allegedly aiming to bankrupt the couple by targeting a sum close to their combined net worth.
“Justin chose $400 million because their combined net worth is believed to be around that figure,” the source said.
They went on claiming, “If they were successful in their pursuits, he would have lost everything he has and everything he has ever worked for.”
The source close to the actor has revealed that her has already suffered significant setbacks, including losing jobs such as his podcast and being dropped by his agent.
They further disclosed that his loved ones want the Hollywood’s power couple to be bankrupted after this vicious dispute.
Reports suggest that the A Simple Favor actress and the Deadpool star’s combined fortune approximately totals to $380 million.
The intense legal battle began when the actress sued her co-star for alleged sexual harassment in December 2024. However, Justin has categorically denied allegations.
Simultaneously, The New York Times reported on her legal action, which accused him of organizing a smear campaign against her.
This didn’t sit well with the Jane the Virgin star as he responded with a counter lawsuit against the publication before initiating the $400 million lawsuit against the iconic couple earlier this month, accusing the duo of conspiring to ruin his reputation with the allegations.
Justin further alleged that Blake took over the filming of It Ends With Us, which he directed, and insisted she made him and his family wait in a basement holding area during the premiere so she wouldn’t have to see him.
