Details of this development are being reported by TMZ, which says that Stephanie Jones, a former rep for Justin Baldoni, has opted to sue her ex-employee Jennifer Abel and is claiming that her own reputation was targeted.

Justin Baldoni's former publicist is making one thing clear: she had no involvement in the alleged smear campaign against Blake Lively.

It Ends With Us is back in the news in a very unfortunate way. The film was controversial from the start, with arguments over its source material’s depiction of domestic violence (it’s based on Colleen Hoover’s novel) and whether or not star Blake Lively fit the lead role of Lily Bloom.
