Amber Heard Reacts To Blake Lively’s Smear Campaign Allegation Against Co-Star Justin Baldoni; Recalls Her ‘Horrifying’ Experience With Social Media

As a lifestyle expert who has observed the tumultuous world of Hollywood for many years, I find myself both saddened and disheartened by the ongoing saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and the unfortunate echoes it holds for other high-profile figures such as Amber Heard.

Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of sexual harassment. 

Amber Heard found the sexual harassment and defamation lawsuit filed by Blake Lively against her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni, particularly relevant.

Actress who played Aquaman publicly responded to NBC News concerning Lively’s accusations, drawing a parallel between those experiences and the distressing ordeal she faced during her libel case involving ex-spouse Johnny Depp in court.

The quote suggests that social media behaves like the old adage, “Falsehood spreads faster than truth,” a notion I have witnessed personally. It’s both alarming and damaging to see such rapid dissemination of misinformation.

Heard’s statement was in response to the Jane the Virgin actor hiring the same PR crisis manager as Depp during his defamation trial in 2022, which he ultimately won. In her lawsuit, Lively accused her co-star and the film’s director, Baldoni, of sexual harassment and starting a retaliatory campaign to “destroy” her reputation. 

The lawsuit alleged that other members of the production were also involved in planning and implementing the smear campaign. However, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, denied the allegations in a statement released to People magazine on December 21. 

Apart from refuting the accusations, he further asserted that the plaintiff is exploiting the lawsuit as a means to rectify her unfavorable public image and implicated her for creating problems during the filming of “It Ends With Us.

Previously, it was verified to People magazine that Baldoni had taken on Melissa Nathan from The Agency Group, who used to manage Johnny Depp, as his PR manager back in August. Additionally, various outlets have suggested that the actor faced termination by his talent agency, WME, during the legal dispute.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I’d say it went like this: I’ve been following the high-profile case between a well-known Pirates of the Caribbean actor and a woman who accused him of sexual assault. This allegation came amidst his $50 million defamation lawsuit against her. The entire situation unfolded publicly, allowing for widespread discussion among online communities. Unfortunately, the fallout from this case has made headlines on the internet, sparking numerous memes and an overwhelming wave of negativity towards her.
