Blake Lively hit with another lawsuit as Justin Baldoni's PR specialist Jed Wallace sues her for defamation


Embattled Blake Lively faces a fresh defamation fight after a crisis PR boss has now filed a suit against her for wrongly naming him as an alleged harasser, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Judge Lewis Liman ordered both parties to cease speaking publicly on the proceedings out of fears it could impact potential jury selection, and said he could move up the slated March 9, 2026 trial date if they were unable to do so. Lively's attorneys Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson told DailyMail.com in a statement on Monday following court proceedings: 'We are pleased with the result of today's hearing and eager to move forward immediately with discovery in this case. Baldoni's team previously said that the communications shared in court filings on the website - which already has fans talking- makes things clear about the actions of both parties, marking the latest chapter in the feud between the lead stars of romantic drama.
