Blake Lively’s publicist asked to be removed from the $400 million lawsuit Justin Baldoni filed in January

Jeff Spicer/Getty Images for Sony Pictures Blake Lively‘s publicist, Leslie Sloane, is denying a new report alleging that she planted false stories in the press about behind-the-scenes conflict against actor/director Justin Baldoni on the set of It Ends With Us.
