Federal judge was the first to be a duel lawsuit between actor Break Live and Justin Bardoni. A very publicly published conflict.
In a hearing in the Federal District Court in Manhattan, the actress lawyer opposed what he called “inflammatory” comment by Blydoni's lawyer Brian Friedman. It ends with us. “
Since LIVELY advanced in December with a claim to Baldoni, he supervised the movie and starred with Lively. After that, a smear campaign.
In a hearing, Live Live's lawyer, Michael J. Gott Reeves, stated that he had accidentally attacked the character of actresses, including blaming bullying. Final exam.
“You are not to start an attack on your opponent's character,” said Gottley.
Bardoni's lawyer argued that Friedman's comment was followed by ethical rules and responded in response to Lively's Frenzy of Media Feating. Mr. Friedman also explains that he has adopted a strategy called Darbo, which represents “refusal, attack, reverse victim and criminal”, that it has adopted Bardoni's lawsuit. I read the statement with a voice from the team.
“This was not a one -way street,” Friedman said in a hearing.
The conflict between the two famous actors has been fixed in Hollywood, tabloid and social media in recent weeks. Legal conflicts include producer, public relations executives, and journalists.
Judge, Lewis J. Liman, the US District Court in Manhattan, moderated a journalist and lawyer of various political parties, to keep lawyers from making public statements outside the court. We ordered to comply with the New York rules. “The possibility of substantially giving prejudice increases” procedure.
Judge Liman pointed out that a court document, which proposes an actor's claim, has been documented as “a feast has given public things.” But in the end, he said that the battle of the event was right in court.
“As long as the case is not resolved, JU will speak,” said the judge.
Neither LiveLy nor Baldoni attended the Monday hearing.
Recently, the general public has analyzed a problematic scene in a lively lawsuit released on the news outlet along with Friedman's statement. Baldoni's team has also released a website that users can download public court documents, including tens of pages related to movie production.
The actor filed by the actor presented a different explanation of what happened in the set “It ends with us”. In the movie, Riley plays the heroine, and Bardoni draws her partner.
Lively's lawsuit includes Baldoni, the founder of Wayfarer Studios, a company that produced the movie, and Jamey Heath, the highest executive of Wayfarer.
The lawsuit claims that Bardoni and Heath have blamed sexual harassment, and they were not invited to Live's trailers while they were taking off their clothes or raising them in breast milk. The actress also accelerated the unnecessary kisses during the shooting and accused him of commenting on his previous porn poisoning.
LIVELY disagree with the man's actions against the studio. This agreed to her request for changing the set. However, her lawsuit claims that Wayfarer has devised a “retaliation campaign” because of the concern that she would hire a crisis communication expert as the release of the movie approached and disclose her dissatisfaction. Lively's court papers quotes text messages that protect Baldoni and his reputation and hurt her. One of the quoted text was a message from a spokeswoman who said, “I want to be buried.”
Bardoni's suit contested her claim and said no one first knocked and asked for permission. The lawsuit denied that LIVELY's kissing scenes were improvised and discussed the previous pornography poisoning in the context of Bardoni's struggle because of being exposed to childhood.
Instead, his and his team blame Live and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and her spokeswoman, honor and terrifying Tor, and the actress “concessions and creative. He argued that she was dissatisfied with extracting the control. Bardoni's lawyer denied that his public relations team was engaged in the Sumi Campaign and argued that he was a victim of Live's efforts to harm his reputation.
The hearing was the first time that an actor lawyer has appeared in court since the legal dispute began on December 20. One day later, the New York Times reported on her accusation and quoted excerpts from the case -related text messages, emails, and other documents.
Bardoni has argued that the article has intentionally omitted a part of text exchange and intentionally omitted other information inconsistent with the actress event version. The lawsuit was initially filed in California, but on Friday, he added time as a defendant in Live in New York.
The Times states in the statement that he is planning to “defend a lawsuit strongly,” and calls the article “he has been responsible for his care.”
