Justin Baldoni’s Ex-Publicist SUES Him Amid Blake Lively Drama | E! News
/ enews

[@wilfreddale764]

What a coincidence that JB’s ex-publicist claims they didn’t know about the smear campaign and then files a lawsuit right after BL.

[@midwestnewsgurl]

There was no smear campaign. Her behavior speaks for itself.

[@isla7blue]

Very convenient for Blake

[@EughhBrothereughh]

[@qwerty-z2]

This publicist is in cahoots with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. She gave these texts to Blake! Also has a dark and toxic history of bullying staff and smearing ‘The Rock’s’ reputation too.

[@brigettepowell9730]

How did he smear her? All the negative things that I heard about her were things she said out of her mouth and how she treated that interviewer years ago.

[@MC-nj4eg]

I think his team payed some people on the internet to say mean things about her and then others seen it jumped on and started saying non true rumors about her on top of those and his team thought it was hilarious and was patting their backs. They kept saying that they “buried her”.

[@evap.5121]

@@MC-nj4eg that sounds way too far fetched. She got herself cancelled by acting unhinged when interviewers asked her questions about domestic violence. Also, when were these so called emails, etc authenticated in court. That has not happened yet. if you stopped watching gossip channels and followed actual lawyers reviewing these documents you might actually be better informed

[@tbrown4129]

Why don’t you read the complaint, if you really want to know how.

[@ekaeka763]

I don't think so! Read all the comments. Lots of people are still siding with him. The truth will come out.

[@Jas-sq5er]

One thing is for sure he truly doesn't have respect for women. Why would any man show naked pictures of his wife to another woman. He hired PR firm to smear Blake. Emails don't lie he wrote them all . All of the conversations are there. He is a creep!!! The women who were paid and hired to smear her are no better!!!! It's public record and good for her for filing the complaint. He crossed the line.

[@Sound7heWarCry]

Poor guy. I’ll be praying for him and his family. I don’t believe Blake one bit and I truly believe she’s a mean girl based off of the interviews she’s given over the years. She’s the type of woman to distort the truth/ share partial truths. He’s given her nothing but praise in interviews while she was busy forming cliques and spreading rumors. There’s a reason why Scarlett Johansen didn’t like her either. Blake’s doing all that she can to save face from the position she put herself in. Not to mention her hopes for tarnishing Baldoni so much so that she’d eventually be able to get the rights to the movie/sequel. How she was able to get away with having her husband secretly write the script to the movie when he was a part of the screenwriters guild and hired her own editor to cut her version of the movie without the director’s consent (Baldoni) and have that be the version that’s out now is beyond me. I truly hope he finds the support him and his family need at this time.

[@marykuettner752]

I think you need to read the complaint. I think you are going to be surprised at all the complaints by other women that will be coming out. I worked for a business that had a lot of actresses and reality stars for clients and have heard he is a creep for years. I think we are going to see a lot of evidence.

[@AlexMahone2023]

[@cosplayshop]

People need to read the complaint before commenting. The reason why Blake Lively didn't file this complaint during or immediately after the filming is that she does not know there is a retaliation plan against her (That is what she is suing for) until midway thru the release, most likely had Jones onboard and send her all the message she used in her complaint. On the other hand, for those who support BL, think about her complaint for a second, of the 10 claims on BL complaint, none of those are Libel, which mean unless she is adding that in closer to filing the affidavit, she is virtually not contesting what JB said This case susses on both sides, and I honestly don't know who will win
