Bryan Freedman, now defending his client against Blake Lively’s accusations over 'It Ends With Us,' claimed Baldoni’s directorial debut 'Five Feet Apart' violated the copyright of a man who’d previously appeared on Baldoni’s docuseries about terminally ill young people.

The letter argues that Freedman’s actions are basically a continuation of the retaliation campaign Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios allegedly started when Lively first called out Baldoni’s behavior on the set of It Ends With Us.

Lively’s team claims the clip shows “Lively’s discomfort” and “her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching”
