Justin Baldoni's attorney claims 'leaked' messages in Blake Lively's lawsuit taken out of 'critical context'
Days after Lively, 37, sued her It Ends With Us co-star and director for sexual harassment, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman spoke out about her filing.
And on the topic of Baldoni's crisis management team, The Agency Group PR, which he hired amid the It Ends With Us press tour drama, Freedman defended their hypothetical 'scenario planning' to tarnish Lively's reputation. 'The standard scenario planning TAG PR drafted proved unnecessary as audiences found Lively's own actions, interviews and marketing during the promotional tour distasteful, and responded organically to that which the media themselves picked up on,' he continued. The court documents from Lively's filing also claimed Baldoni's team had a plan that 'went well beyond standard crisis PR' and that they proposed implementing 'astroturfing' — a concept defined as 'the practice of publishing opinions or comments on the internet, in the media, etc., that appear to come from ordinary members of the public but actually come from a particular company or political group.'
