Blake Lively’s Team Shrugs Off $7M Defamation Suit From Alleged Smear Campaign Architect; Jed Wallace Says Claims Have Cost Him Big Bucks


Blake Lively's Team Shrugs Off Defamation Suit Over Alleged Smear Campaign Planner; Jed Wallace Says Claims have Cost Him Millions In Lost Business

Hours after Jed Wallace launched a $7 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively today, the lawyer for the self-described “human crisis” navigator have admitted their action is in no small part a response to his likely addition to the It Ends With Us actress’ ongoing bitter battles with Justin Baldoni, his company, his backers and his publicists. The move Tuesday by Lively and Ryan Reynolds ’ attorneys in the Hays County courts to drop their demand for Texas-based and Street Relations founder Wallace to give a deposition under oath about what he did and didn’t do in an alleged online smear campaign last year against the Gossip Girl vet was first reported by Deadline. What Lively’s lawyers has said in their now dismissed desire of last month to to get Wallace to sit for a deposition, is that the Street Relations exec “weaponized a digital army around the country from New York to Los Angeles to create, seed, and promote content that appeared to be authentic on social media platforms and internet chat forums.”
