Justin Baldoni distracts himself from multimillion-dollar lawsuits between himself and Blake Lively with a trip to Hawaii.

The 40-year-old actor and director, who was sued by Lively for alleged sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment on the set of their romantic drama It Ends With Us, was pictured Saturday enjoying a trip to a beach in Maui , Hawaii, with his family.

He was pictured showing off his ripped abs and chiseled physique as he jumped into the surf with his wife Emily and their two children: daughter Maiya, nine, and son Maxwell, seven.

Before landing in Hawaii, Baldoni broke his silence after filing his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively when he was spotted flying out of Los Angeles’ LAX airport with his family early Friday morning.

He has alleged in his lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Soane that the trio tried to defame him in the wake of the release of their hit film.

But Baldoni was focused on enjoying his vacation with his family during the Hawaiian trip and enjoyed the sun and perfect weather.

On Thursday, Baldoni escalated his legal war of words with Lively and Reynolds when he filed a $400 million lawsuit against the two and her publicist, accusing them of conspiring to destroy his reputation with sexual harassment allegations Lively had previously made.

In response to Baldoni’s new lawsuit, Lively’s attorneys issued a fiery statement to DailyMail.com, stating, “This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and his associates is a new chapter in the abuse manual.”

They added: ‘This is an age-old story: a woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation, and the abuser tries to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO. To deny. Attack. Victim-offender reversed.”

In court documents from Baldoni’s lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, he accused Lively of hijacking the filming of their romantic drama It Ends With Us, which he directed.

The statement alleges that Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer Studios “has chosen to use the resources of his billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch unwarranted lawsuits and threaten lawsuits to undermine the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliating against accusations of sexual harassment, to overwhelm. .’

Lively’s attorneys added, “They are trying to shift the narrative to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she took creative control and alienated Mr. Baldoni’s cast.” The evidence will show that the cast and others had their own negative experiences with Mr. Baldoni and Wayfarer.

“The evidence will also show that Sony asked Ms. Lively to oversee Sony’s version of the film, which they subsequently selected for distribution and was a resounding success.”

They continued, “Their response to sexual harassment allegations: she wanted it, it’s her fault. Their justification for why this happened to her: look what she was wearing.”

The statement concluded: “In short, while the victim focuses on the abuse, the abuser focuses on the victim. The strategy to attack the woman is desperate, it does not rebut the evidence in Ms. Lively’s complaint and will fail.”

Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman explained the Jane The Virgin star’s decision to file a lawsuit in a statement to DailyMail.com.

“This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untainted evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by pushing grossly redacted, unsubstantiated, new and falsified information into the media to spread,” he said.

“It is clear, based on our total willingness to provide all full text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence shared between the parties in real time, that this is a fight they will not win and where she will definitely regret it. the statement continued. “Blake Lively was either grossly misled by her team or deliberately and knowingly misrepresented.

‘Madam. Never again will Lively be allowed to continue to exploit actual victims of real harassment solely for her personal reputational gain at the expense of those without power,” Freedman said. “Let us not forget that Ms. Lively and her team, for hideously selfish reasons, sought to destroy reputations and livelihoods through their own dangerous manipulation of the media before taking any legal action. We know the truth, and now the public knows it too. Justin and his team have nothing to hide, documents don’t lie.’

He also accused her and her Deadpool star husband of ruining his experience at the film’s premiere by forcing him and his family to wait in a basement area surrounded by crowded concession stands and security guards to make sure they didn’t hit him would see in the basement. theater
