Lawyer for actor and director says he is prepared to release trove of text messages amid It Ends With Us dispute

The actor and director Justin Baldoni plans to sue his co-star Blake Lively after she accused him of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her, Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s attorney, told NBC.

While Freedman did not share any details about what the lawsuit will include, he said he was prepared to release a trove of text messages that he said would add the context needed to prove his client’s innocence.
