“Another day, another state, another nine-figure lawsuit seeking to sue Ms. Lively into oblivion for speaking out against sexual harassment and retaliation,” Lively’s legal team said in a statement. “While this lawsuit will be dismissed, we are pleased that Mr. Wallace has finally emerged from the shadows, and that he too will be held accountable in federal court.”
Expanding Legal Fallout in the ‘It Ends With Us’ Controversy
Wallace is just one of several public relations professionals entangled in the high-stakes Hollywood dispute.
- Lively is also suing PR professionals Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel for their alleged role in the smear campaign.
- Baldoni has fired back with a countersuit, claiming that Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, took control of the film’s production and fabricated defamatory allegations against him.
- Baldoni’s former publicist, Stephanie Jones, has launched her own legal action against him, Nathan, and Abel for defamation and client poaching.
With multiple lawsuits unfolding in different jurisdictions, the legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us continues to escalate.
