Justin Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, confirmed Friday he plans to pursue legal action against Blake Lively.

The remark was in response to a statement given by Lively’s legal team on Monday to People which accused Baldoni’s team of trying to distract and attack in the press, describing such efforts as a classic technique to discredit a victim of sexual harassment.

Lawyers for Blake Lively have issued a new statement in support of the actress amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
