Justin Baldoni’s Former Publicist Sues Team Behind Alleged Blake Lively Smear Campaign


Justin Baldoni's ex-publicist Stephanie Jones sues actor, another publicist, and crisis manager for defamation over alleged Blake Lively smear campaign.

The actor, as well as his publicist Jennifer Abel, crisis manager Melissa Nathan and Wayfarer Studios, are named as defendants in a suit alleging defamation and breach of contract. The newly-filed lawsuit alleges that Jones was kept in the dark about Abel and Nathan’s “scheming to ‘bury’ and ‘destroy’ co-star Blake Lively to protect Baldoni” using “an aggressive media smear campaign,” according to documents reviewed by Rolling Stone. This lawsuit seeks to finally put a stop to their continued misconduct and to compensate Jones and Jonesworks for the damage Defendants’ conduct and scheme has inflicted.”
