In documents, the Baldoni team claims that the New York Times Had access to the complaint from Lively Civil Rights, 11 days before they published their long report on Balodoni’s alleged smear campaign on December 21. His team also claims that the metadata in the play shows that they were already working on the story on 31 December. Variety Reports that the Times in the complaint has disputed “inaccuracies”.
In a statement given to the Daily mailBaldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said: “The decision to change our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming number of new proof that has come to light.”

“The constant public interest in this case online has ironically shed light on the unmistakable facts that relate to The New York Times And how heavy Mrs Lively and her representatives were not only deeply involved in the attempt to beat and smearing Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and their teams, but that they initiated it themselves. “
In response, a spokesperson for the New York Times said, “The legal files of Baldoni/Wayfarer are full of inaccuracies about the New York Times, including the fake, for example, that the Times had early access to the statement.” Mr. Baldoni’s lawyers base their incorrect claim on reports by Amateur internet frameworks, who are not surprisingly wrong.

The lawyers of the couple submitted a message on Thursday stating that they will try to reject Baldoni’s court case.
