Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni of Harassment and Smear Campaign

The legal battle intensifies as Lively's claims are supported by text evidence and a lawsuit from Baldoni's former publicist.

Blake Lively has filed a legal complaint alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated effort by Justin Baldoni and his team to damage her reputation after their work on 'It Ends With Us.'
Text messages obtained by Lively’s legal team suggest Baldoni’s publicists discussed strategies to tarnish her image, including planting negative stories in the media.
Baldoni’s former publicist, Stephanie Jones, has filed a separate lawsuit accusing him and his PR team of defamation, breach of contract, and orchestrating a smear campaign without her knowledge.
Baldoni denies all allegations, calling them false and claiming they are an attempt to fix Lively’s reputation, while his talent agency and other industry partners have distanced themselves from him.
Lively has received public support from co-stars, including Brandon Sklenar and Jenny Slate, as well as figures like Amber Heard and Colleen Hoover, who have criticized the alleged retaliatory tactics.
