Blake Lively Faces $7 Million Lawsuit Amid Ongoing Conflict with Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively is facing legal action from a public relations firm amid the ongoing controversy surrounding It Ends With Us.

The conflict involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has escalated into one of the most complicated situations in recent cinematic history, with both actors publicly exchanging accusations for several months. Lively asserts that Baldoni behaved improperly while filming, whereas Baldoni contends that these assertions lack foundation and that Lively is engaged in a campaign to tarnish his reputation. Regardless of the underlying truth, this conflict has resulted in a series of legal challenges, potentially leading to financial repercussions exceeding $250 million.

In a new twist, Lively is now being sued by a crisis public relations firm represented by Jed Wallace of Street Relations. In his lawsuit, Wallace alleges that Lively made unfounded claims about him, suggesting he generated fake social media content that criticized her and supported Baldoni. He is seeking $7 million in damages and a formal declaration stating that he did not participate in any form of harassment or assault against the actress.

According to reports, this development follows Lively's recent effort in Texas, where she filed a petition to depose Wallace. This petition accused him of employing a digital team to fabricate and disseminate misleading content that seemed credible across various social media platforms and online forums.

Lively's legal team, led by attorney Michael Gottlieb, has responded to this lawsuit, describing it as yet another substantial legal challenge aiming to silence Ms. Lively for advocating against misconduct and retaliation.

The timeline for when these lawsuits may proceed to court remains uncertain.
