Blake Lively Sued by PR Firm for $7M

Blake Lively is facing a defamation lawsuit from Jed Wallace and his crisis management firm Street Relations, amid her ongoing legal battles with co-star Justin Baldoni. Lively had accused Wallace of participating in a smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni's PR team in retaliation for her sexual harassment allegations. Wallace denies these claims, asserting he has faced significant reputational and financial harm as a result. Lively's legal team argues that the lawsuit is retaliatory and a publicity stunt, expecting it to be dismissed. The case is part of a larger legal saga involving multiple lawsuits and allegations of defamation and harassment between Lively, Baldoni, and other parties. Wallace seeks $7 million in damages, alongside a declaration of non-involvement in the alleged smear campaign.
