Justin Baldoni Claims Being Blamed To ‘Salvage Blake Lively’s Reputation’ By Her ‘Desperate’ Publicist in New Document

According to a Daily Mail report, in recent developments of the legal dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, it’s been stated that Justin has argued against dismissing Leslie Sloane, who serves as Blake’s publicist, from the lawsuit.

Baldoni’s lawyer submitted the required paperwork to Sloane’s petition, as she had allegedly requested that hers and Vision PR’s names be excluded from the ongoing legal dispute.

According to the given deadline, the recent development concerning the issue was reported on March 6, which happened to be the day following when the case’s federal judge characterized it as a “dispute between public relations firms.

According to reports from Baldoni’s team, it was suggested that the publicist of Shallow’s stars was involved in a plot to cause damage to the director of Five Feet Apart, his production company, and their PR team, which includes Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Able.

As reported by Deadline, Baldoni claims that the publicist collaborated with the actress, her husband – Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times to wrongly blame the Wayfarer Parties for Lively’s troubles, creating scapegoats in their place.

According to Baldoni’s team, they assertedly stated that these actions were taken as a “desperate attempt to protect Lively’s image and avoid her anger.” The actor’s party also suggested that Sloane and her PR firm had been working for months to subtly suggest suspicious accusations to the public while privately feeding misinformation to any journalist willing to listen.

According to a report by Daily Mail, Baldoni has additionally mentioned the name of the New York Times journalist who penned the piece on Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment and smear campaign.

According to the court documents, it is said that Baldoni claimed his actions led to substantial harm. He stated that he, as well as those on his team, have suffered immense damage – their reputations are ruined, their enterprises are in ruins, and the movie they produced has been taken away from them.

Despite being embroiled in a court case, on March 7th, Lively made an appearance at the SXSW premiere for her new film, titled Another Simple Favor, co-starring Anna Kendrick.
