The Justin-Blake feud has been going on for quite a while now but neither of them has failed to give enough gossip and drama in Hollywood. The latest move from our Pretty Boy and director of “It Ends with Us” with a seemingly long allegations list from Blake Lively is not a twist more surprising than a telenovela plot twist on Jane the Virgin. The Hollywood heartthrob and all-around Mr. Nice Guy, has filed a lawsuit against none other than The New York Times. Yes, folks, the beacon of journalism is now trading blows with the patron of progressive masculinity. Rush and grab your popcorn bags because this one is sure as hell as juicy as a summer watermelon.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court (because where else would drama this good happen?), reportedly accuses The New York Times of “libel, defamation, and frankly, just being mean.” Sources close to Baldoni claim that the paper ran a piece so scathing it left his signature man bun frazzled. The lawsuit alleged that they wrote the article based on Blake’s unverified account and ignored other evidence. “They questioned his sincerity and even implied he’s not that woke,” whispered an insider. That’s like telling Oprah she’s not inspirational. C’mon yaar!
The lawsuit reportedly argues that the article, titled Is Justin Baldoni Too Perfect? contained defamatory claims against Pretty Boy Baldoni and statements that were damaging to his reputation.
“This isn’t just about me,” Baldoni stated in a press release. “This is about ensuring that public figures are represented accurately and responsibly by the media.” Because nothing says “responsible journalism” like asking if someone is too perfect, right? Such a Mr. Perfectly Fine, Justin Baldoni ladies and gentlemen!
Baldoni’s legal team has emphasized that the lawsuit seeks accountability for what they view as journalistic negligence. “Our client values truth and fairness,” said his attorney. “This case is about protecting those values and addressing the harm caused by misleading representations.” loosely translating, “We’re not here for drama; we’re here for receipts.”
The New York Times has responded with a brief statement: “The role of an independent news organization is to follow facts where they lead. Our story was meticulously and responsibly reported. We plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.” In legalese, this might as well mean, “We’ll see you in court, Baldoni.” This huge impact has sidelined Mrs.Blank Lively I mean Blake Lively. Let’s see what unfolds in their feud.
The lawsuit has sparked a broader conversation about media responsibility and the impact of public narratives on PR. Because one thing we love is turning legal disputes into GupSups on Twitter. If Justin Baldoni was a Tollywood hero he would give a sassy one-liner such as “Kyu Hila Dala na”
As the case progresses, it is expected to draw significant attention, with many awaiting further developments and statements from both parties involved. Stay tuned for the next episode of “When Journalism tries to fu*ck with Hollywood.”
