In the filing, Ms Lively also alleges that Mr Baldoni and his team attacked her public image after the meeting.
She accuses him of orchestrating a plan to “destroy” her reputation in the press and online, including hiring a crisis manager who led a “sophisticated, coordinated, and well-financed retaliation plan” against her and used a “digital army” to post social media content that seemed authentic.
“To safeguard against the risk of Ms Lively ever revealing the truth about Mr Baldoni, the Baldon-Wayfarer team created, planted, amplified, and boosted content designed to eviscerate Mr Baldoni’s credibility,” Ms Lively’s team wrote in the filing.
In the filing, Ms Lively says that this had led to “substantial harm” that affected “all aspects” of her life.
Mr Baldoni’s legal team told the BBC the allegations are “categorically false” and said they hired a crisis manager because Ms Lively had threatened to derail the film unless her demands were met.
Responding to the legal complaint, Mr Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said on Saturday: “It is shameful that Ms Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives.”
Mr Freedman accused Ms Lively of making numerous demands and threats, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film”, which would end up “ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met”.
