What did Blake’s publicist say?
There were reports that Justin would be counter-suing Blake’s team for planting stories against him during the tour. Now Blake’s publicist has responded to the allegations and denied them. in a statement to PeopleThe actor’s publicist said: “On 8/11 I was contacted by Sarah Nathan (Melissa Nathan’s sister), forwarding an anonymous tip received by Page Six regarding allegations of HR complaints on the set of It End’s With Us. After that, various press outlets contacted me to ask about the allegations of HR complaints. When contacted, I responded to press questions by referring me to Wayfarer or Sony for information regarding HR complaints.
‘I have never seen this level of unethical behavior’
The statement further said, “It is clear that Mr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer Associates are suggesting that I fabricated press stories about HR complaints on the set, which is false, providing details of the campaign against my client. Does it. I’m not going to talk about when or how many lawsuits we’re filing, but when we file our first lawsuit, it will shock everyone who has been conditioned to believe an obviously false story. Has been inspired. It will be supported by real evidence and tell the true story. In over 30 years of practice, I have never seen this level of deliberate unethical behavior through media manipulation.
The allegations also added that Justin intentionally wanted to damage Blake’s reputation by carrying out a “social manipulation” campaign. This caused losses to Blake’s business and caused “severe emotional distress” to his family.
It Ends With Us made headlines earlier this year due to rumors of a rift between the two actors. The two of them were spotted separately at the premiere of their film, and while the actor followed him, neither actor followed Baldoni on Instagram.
