Public feud and legal battles swirl around Baldoni and Lively
The Times reports on December lawsuits where Lively accuses Baldoni of harassment and defamation. Baldoni counters with a 250 million libel suit against the Times, while in January he sues Lively, Reynolds, and publicist Sloane for defamation and civil extortion as a discovery fight unfolds. Separately, Sean Combs pleads not guilty in a federal sex trafficking indictment, with trial logistics set for May and juror questioning starting in May pending venue decisions. The indictment details coercive acts, violence, and coercion against multiple victims, amid defense arguing that some charges target consensual acts and contested evidence such as a CNN video.
