The New York Times has issued a strong rebuttal to allegations made by Justin Baldoni in his amended lawsuit against Blake Lively. The New York Times issued a statement rejecting the allegations.
The central idea of the article is a legal battle between actor Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.
Baldoni accuses Lively of giving the New York Times «early access» to her sexual harassment complaint against him, which he claims was used to create a defamatory article. He bases this on finding seemingly suspicious code dates within the article's HTML.
The New York Times strongly denies this, calling the accusations «bogus» and «erroneous». They argue that Baldoni's legal team is basing their claims on incorrect interpretations made by online sleuths and that the article's publication date is unrelated to when they received Lively's complaint.
This disagreement highlights a larger legal and ethical battle surrounding the intersection of media reporting, online investigations, and defamation claims in the digital age.
