Headline: Blake Lively's lawyers respond to Justin Baldoni's lawsuit

Caption: On Thursday, Baldoni sued his It Ends With Us co-star and her husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million (£326 million), alleging "extortion, defamation and breach of contract”. Responding to the lawsuit in a statement, Lively's legal team called the action "another chapter in the abuser playbook". "This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim.” "This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender."
