Blake Lively accused of using journalist 'as a pawn' in Justin Baldoni sexual harassment lawsuit

A journalist caught in the cross-fire between Hollywood stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's public back-and-forth claimed the actress used her "as a pawn."

Norwegian entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa was included in Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni after the two starred together in the Colleen Hoover-adapted film, "It Ends With Us." Since the premiere of the movie, Lively has accused Baldoni of participating in a deliberate smear campaign to ruin the actress' reputation.
