Blake Lively's legal team got hold of damaging Justin Baldoni texts
Published 5 months ago on Dec 30, 2024

Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni has escalated following the release of alleged text messages that her legal team claims reveal a coordinated effort to tarnish her reputation.

The texts, reportedly obtained through a legal subpoena, were presented as evidence in Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni. They allegedly expose a detailed strategy by Baldoni’s crisis management team to launch a “smear campaign” against the actress after she raised concerns about working conditions on the set of their film, It Ends With Us.

Subpoenaed Texts Unveil Alleged Campaign

According to The Los Angeles Times, the text messages were sourced from a phone belonging to Jennifer Abel, Baldoni’s former publicist, who left her role due to alleged bullying. The messages were reportedly acquired through a civil subpoena, although legal experts speculate the subpoena may have been issued in an unrelated case and later applied to Lively’s lawsuit.

Lively’s attorneys claim the texts detail a “multi-tiered plan” to discredit her. Among the allegations are messages showing Baldoni’s team discussing strategies to portray Lively as difficult to work with and planning targeted social media narratives.

Legal Fallout Expands

The lawsuit against Baldoni includes claims of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic work environment—allegations he has vehemently denied. Additionally, Baldoni, his company Wayfarer Studios, and his crisis PR team face a separate lawsuit from Stephanie Jones, the head of Jonesworks PR. Jones accuses Abel and crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan of defamation, breach of contract, and orchestrating a smear campaign against both her and Lively.

Jones alleges that Abel and Nathan conspired to steal Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios as clients, all while discrediting Jones and blaming her for negative press about Lively.
