Lively filed a lawsuit in New York against the actor and his publicity team on Tuesday, alleging sexual harassment on the set of the film and a scheme to "destroy" her reputation.
Baldoni, meanwhile, has filed a lawsuit against The New York Times, which first reported Lively's legal complaint, accusing journalists of working with the actress to damage his reputation and ignoring evidence which contradicted her claims.
The newspaper has denied his allegations and said their original story was "meticulously and responsibly reported".
Lively's legal case includes many of the same accusations which appeared in her civil rights complaint, often a precursor to a lawsuit, which was filed in California in December.
