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.

Stephanie Jones has sued Baldoni and his crisis PR team alleging a smear campaign to discredit her and Blake Lively during the fallout from 'It Ends With Us.'

In a newly filed lawsuit, Hollywood publicist Stephanie Jones says PR operatives defected from her firm and tried to ruin Blake Lively's reputation.
