Blake Lively Sues Justin Baldoni for Orchestrating a Smear Campaign Against Her

Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni for orchestrating a PR smear campaign against her, one that was rather successful. The text messages between Baldoni and his PR team are insidious: They set out to “bury her” in so much negative press that none of the sexual harassment allegations against Baldoni would stick. It’s fascinating and gross to see in all of these text messages how the sausage is made, how easy it was for him to pull off, and how so much of what transpired during that period was intentional.
