[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Reynolds literally went around telling studios "Baldoni is a sexual predator, don't hire him" that's grounds for defamation and tortious interference.

If it was "My wife was very uncomfortable working with Baldoni on set. It was a terrible experience and she/we wouldn't work with him again" that is probably legally protected opinion.[/quote]

My guess is that it was somewhere in between. I am certain he used hyperbolic language but I think it's going to be hard for Baldoni to show that Reynolds actually accused him of something purely false. It's going to be something like, "He treated Blake horribly, you should hear some of the stuff he did. I am beginning to think there might really be something wrong with him, like he might be some kind of sexual predator or something. Especially when he's out there calling himself a male feminist. It's manipulative."

And I think a statement like that is going to be very hard to get ruled as "defamatory" if there was any truth to any of Lively's accusations, even if nothing he did could be considered sexual assault. It appears she felt uncomfortable on set, and it appears he was at times kind of weird and inappropriate. That would be a hugely hyperbolic way of describing that situation but not exactly false either.[/quote]
