Part 2/6:
Baldoni’s countersuit comes as a direct response to the allegations made by Lively. In his filing, he claims that the pressure exerted by the highly successful couple, known for their immense celebrity stature, led to Lively wanting more editorial control over the film's script. He specifically mentions the rooftop scene—pivotal to the storyline—where Lively's version allegedly diverged significantly from the original screenplay.
In his documentation, Baldoni acknowledges Lively's passion for the project but asserts that he had to diplomatically navigate these changes. He expressed gratitude for her contributions, stating that the final version would be a blend of both the original script and Lively's edits.
