Recently, a former publicist, Stephanie Jones, filed a lawsuit against actor Justin Baldoni. This lawsuit supports Blake Lively's claims that Baldoni tried to damage her reputation. Jones alleges that Baldoni and his company, Wayfarer, wanted to bury Lively's allegations of bad behavior on the set of their film, "It Ends With Us. " The lawsuit says that Baldoni feared his reputation would be harmed if Lively's claims were made public.

Jones' lawsuit accuses Baldoni and his team of working with other publicists to destroy Lively's reputation. They allegedly decided to do this in August 2022 when their movie was released. Jones seeks damages from Baldoni and others involved, including a former employee who joined Baldoni's new publicity firm.

The lawsuit reveals that the former employee, Jennifer Abel, stole sensitive documents from Jones' firm. She planned to use these documents to harm Lively and Jones. Text messages included in the lawsuit show that Abel reassured Jones of her loyalty before leaving the company.

Last year, Lively filed a complaint alleging Baldoni tried to damage her reputation after she reported harassment. Baldoni's lawyer denied these claims, saying the studio hired a crisis manager because of Lively's demands during filming.

The lawsuit and Lively's complaint show the complexities surrounding their movie's production. The film, based on a bestselling novel, was a box office hit. It's important to note that these legal actions are ongoing, so the final outcome is still unknown.
