Justin Baldoni is finally breaking his silence after filing a $400 million defamation lawsuit against his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.
The 40-year-old actor chatted briefly with videographers when he was spotted walking into Los Angeles’ LAX airport early on Friday morning in a clip obtained by TMZ.
Baldoni was joined at the airport by his family, including his wife Emily, his daughter Maiya, nine, and his son Maxwell, seven.
The actor is suing Lively and Reynolds, as well as Lively’s publicist Leslie Soane, for alleged defamation, as well as civil extortion, and false light invasion of privacy, among other claims.
It follows an earlier lawsuit seeking $250 million that he filed against the New York Times over its reporting on Lively’s own federal lawsuit accusing him of Sєxual harᴀssment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni, who was dressed casually in a black hoodie and matching New York Yankees cap, said he was ‘grateful to be with the family’ after he ascended an escalator.
