Blake Lively has reportedly received text messages from Justin Baldoni’s PR team that serve as potential evidence of a smear campaign against her. According to reports, these messages were obtained through a legal summons, which raised eyebrows from legal experts due to the absence of a formal trial.
The text messages revealed in Lively’s legal complaint allegedly demonstrate a scheme organized by Baldoni’s PR team, described as “social manipulation” intended to tarnish her reputation. Although no lawsuit has been filed yet, Lively’s civil rights complaint, filed earlier this month, hints at possible legal action. Baldoni has denied all allegations, including claims of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic work environment on the set of It End’s With Us.
The subpoena used to obtain text messages has been labeled by some experts as a “friendly subpoena”, possibly issued in an unrelated case and reproduced here. Legal professionals speculate that this method allows the party concerned to claim compliance under court orders, even if they have provided the information voluntarily.
In addition to Lively’s complaint, Baldoni and his colleagues face another lawsuit filed by Jonesworks PR head Stephanie Jones. Jones sued for defamation and breach of contract, claiming that Baldoni’s PR representatives, Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, stole clients and defamed his company in the media. Lively and Jones both reference the same set of text messages, underscoring their significance in the ongoing controversy.
Lively’s complaint also details alleged inappropriate behavior by Baldoni on the set of It End’s With Us, including showing her an explicit video, discussing her alleged addiction to adult material and interfering with her privacy while she was naked or breastfeeding Is.
The ongoing legal drama between Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and related parties continues, with allegations of a smear campaign, workplace misconduct and professional betrayal taking center stage. As these claims develop, the text messages in question may prove important. Stay tuned for updates on this growing controversy.
