In Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively Legal Saga, Publicist Stephanie Jones Rebuts “Specious Allegations” That She Leaked Confidential Information
Justin Baldoni's former publicist, Stephanie Jones, refuted his claim that she leaked confidential information in an effort to defame Blake Lively.
In two filings Thursday night in U.S. District Court in New York, attorneys for Jones say she produced the sensitive material not as a voluntary act of subterfuge, but in response to a subpoena. The involvement of the two A-list stars, the Times and a handful of seasoned PR operatives and lawyers, along with the film’s $350 million in global box office (and the bitter irony of its storyline about domestic abuse) has created a spectacle of immense fascination in Hollywood and beyond. They may wish it weren’t the case, but the fact remains that Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios and Ms. Abel brazenly and repeatedly breached their contractual obligations to Ms. Jones and Jonesworks, shamelessly framing her as the culprit behind the smear campaign they themselves created targeting Ms. Lively.”
