Amber Heard on Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively controversy

Aquaman actress Amber Heard had a recent interaction with NBC news. In the interview Amber Heard has called the case of Blake Lively accusing her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni a horrifying reminder of her experience in her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp.

She said, “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,’” Heard told the outlet. “I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”

Why did Blake Lively filed case against Justin Baldoni?

The legal complaint was filed with the California Rights Department and is preceded by a lawsuit. It names Justin Baldoni, the studio behind the romantic drama It Ends With Us, Wayfarer Studios and Baldoni’s publicists among the defendants. In the complaint, Lively has accused Baldoni and the studio of embarking on a “multi-tiered plan” to damage her reputation following a meeting in which she and her husband Ryan Reynolds has addressed “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour” by Justin Baldoni and a producer on the movie.

The complaint also included a proposal to plant theories on online message boards, engineer a social media campaign and place news stories critical of Lively. On the other hand, Baldoni was also criticised by fans for allegedly creating a toxic work environment on set. Interestingly, the "smear campaign" on social media is also a part of Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni.
