Blake Lively's Claims: A PR Spin in the Spotlight

Blake Lively, known for her role in "Gossip Girl, " recently filed a complaint against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. She alleges sexual harassment and retaliation, with support from the author of the book, Colleen Hoover, and several Hollywood A-listers. While not a lawsuit, this action could lead to one. Lively's complaint details her efforts to stop the harassment and includes specific examples. Baldoni's publicist, Jennifer Abel, spoke out about the situation, revealing that their PR team was prepared but didn't need to do anything extreme. Abel admits they celebrated the positive internet feedback for Baldoni while Lively's team made their jobs difficult. Interestingly, Sony, the studio behind the film, has been quiet about these allegations. The movie was a box office success, opening to $50 million and making over $350 million worldwide. Lively was instrumental in the movie's marketing, even securing the rights to a Taylor Swift song for the trailer.
