Baldoni, who has since been dropped by WME, referred to as the allegations “utterly false, outrageous and deliberately salacious with an intent to publicly damage and rehash a story within the media,” via his lawyer Bryan Freedman.

Nonetheless, in a dense 10-claim grievance filed final week with the California Civil Rights Division, Full of life particulars at size “the hostile work setting that had practically derailed manufacturing of the Movie” and the multi-pronged “Astroturfing” marketing campaign that was allegedly launched towards her by self-declared feminist Baldoni and his firm.

“Mr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer associates launched into a classy press and digital plan in retaliation for Ms. Full of life exercising her legally-protected proper to talk up about their misconduct on the set, with the extra goal of intimidating her and anybody else from revealing in public what truly occurred,” declares the 80-page grievance, filled with seemingly damning textual content messages between Baldoni and “disaster communications specialist named Melissa Nathan, and her firm The Company Group PR LLC (TAG).”

Stephanie Jones, the founding father of Baldoni’s personal former PR firm Joneworks, has since filed a lawsuit towards him, Wayfarer Studios and publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel for defamation, breach of contract and extra. Within the grievance, her legal professional accuses the actor of trying “to publicly pin blame for this smear marketing campaign on Jones—when Jones had no information or involvement in it.”

Though Freedman wouldn't affirm or deny the pending countersuit, he advised Deadline, “I'm not going to talk to when or what number of lawsuits we're submitting however after we file our first lawsuit, it's going to shock everybody who has been manipulated into believing a demonstrably false narrative. It will likely be supported by actual proof and inform the true story. In over 30 years of working towards, I've by no means seen this degree of unethical habits deliberately fueled via media manipulation. It jogs my memory of what NBC tried to do to Megyn Kelly and Gabrielle Union and everyone knows how that ended up. Standby.”
