  • Blake Lively is being sued for defamation by a PR firm, Street Relations, which she accused of creating false content against her.
  • The lawsuit seeks at least $7 million and a court order stating the firm did not engage in harassment or retaliation against Lively.
  • This legal action follows Lively's request for a court order to interrogate Jed Wallace from Street Relations as part of her ongoing case against co-star Justin Baldoni.
  • Lively claims that Wallace's firm orchestrated a campaign to damage her reputation after she reported repeated sexual harassment by Baldoni during filming.
  • Lively's attorney described the retaliation campaign as 'devastating' and plans to file an amended complaint with additional claims and defendants by February 14.
  • The case began in December when Lively accused Baldoni and his studio of plotting to harm her reputation.
