Blake Lively's Next LEGAL Steps In Justin Baldoni Lawsuit Explained!

perezhilton.com:

So Blake Lively slapped Justin Baldoni with that lawsuit… now what? According to a legal expert, it might not go exactly the way you think! Ron Zambrano, the Employment Litigation Chair at West Coast Trial Lawyers, is not affiliated with the case — but he has some very educated guesses of what might come next.

He told US Weekly this week he predicts the Civil Rights Department will start an investigation into the filings and ask for a formal response to the allegations from Justin and his team, as well as any evidence they may want to provide.

Damn, that sounds serious! Related: Justin Hires Menendez Family’s Attorney To Fight Blake’s Bombshell Lawsuit! There are several options for what would follow — but the legal expert doesn’t think anything is going to be escalated “on Lively’s behalf”: What is possible, though, is Blake can decide she wants “an immediate Right to Sue letter” which “ends the CDR’s jurisdiction”.

If the Gossip Girl alum and her team decide this is the route to take, they’ll have a year from the letter to file a civil complaint against Justin.
