Baldoni’s legal team has called the suit “shameful” and full of “categorically false accusations,” but at this point, I think we all owe Blake Lively an apology. As Nathan put it in one text message subpoenaed by Lively’s attorneys, “It’s actually sad because it just shows you [how] people really want to hate on women.”

A New York Times story, now the source of a $250 million defamation lawsuit, insinuated that Kjersti Flaa collaborated with Baldoni's PR team to smear Lively. Flaa says she's the one being smeared.
