Blake Lively’s claims that “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni unleashed a smear campaign against her have gained support from a new lawsuit that Baldoni’s former publicist filed against him.

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

Blake Lively is receiving even more public support after she accused her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni of launching an online “smear campaign” against her. This time, it’s the actress’ “A Simple Favor” and “A Simple Favor 2” director Paul Feig who came to her defense.
