Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein voiced support for Justin Baldoni in his $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times. Weinstein claims the NYT's reporting on Baldoni mirrored their handling of his own case, alleging cherry-picked information and ignored facts. Baldoni's lawsuit stems from a NYT article suggesting a smear campaign against Blake Lively. The NYT defends its reporting as rigorous and based on evidence. The situation involves intertwined relationships among Weinstein, Lively, Baldoni, and publicist Leslie Sloane, further complicating the legal battles.
