Actor Blake Lively has sued It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni and several others tied to the romantic drama, alleging harassment and a co-ordinated campaign to attack her reputation for coming forward about her treatment on the set.

The federal lawsuit was filed in New York on Tuesday, just hours after Baldoni and many of the other defendants in Lively’s suit sued The New York Times for libel for its story on her allegations, saying the newspaper and the star were the ones conducting a co-ordinated smear campaign.
