It doesn't look like the mudslinging between It Ends with Us co-stars JUSTIN BALDONI and BLAKE LIVELY is going to die down any time soon
NO MORE MR NICEPOOL

JUSTIN (40) and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, have filed yet another defamation lawsuit, this time against BLAKE (37), her husband RYAN REYNOLDS (48) and their publicist LESLIE SLOANE.

He is suing them for $400 million (R7,6 billion) on grounds of civil extortion, defamation and invasion of privacy following Blake's sexual harassment suit against him, which she filed on 20 December.

The lawsuit alleges that Blake and Ryan took over the production and marketing of the movie and worked to manipulate the media by spreading false accusations of harassment against Baldoni and others involved in the production.

"This is a case about two of the most powerful stars in the world deploying their enormous power to steal an entire film right out of the hands of its director and production studio," the lawsuit reads.
