Blake Lively Faces $7M Defamation Lawsuit from Crisis Publicist She Claims ‘Weaponized a Digital Army’ Against Her

Blake Lively previously alleged that this crisis PR firm was hired to smear her image with a “digital army”

Blake Lively is facing another lawsuit in her ongoing It Ends With Us legal battle with costar Justin Baldoni, this time from a publicist she named in the complaint she filed with the California Civil Rights Department.

On Tuesday, Feb. 4, Jed Wallace of the Texas-based crisis-management firm Street Relations, Inc., sued Lively, 37, alleging defamation. This came after Lively filed a petition on Jan. 21 requesting a deposition from Wallace, which was then rescinded Tuesday, according to Wallace’s lawsuit.

In Lively’s December civil rights complaint, her lawyers alleged that Wallace was hired by Baldoni’s PR team to assist in the alleged smear campaign, claiming he “weaponized a digital army around the country from New York to Los Angeles to create, seed and promote content that appeared to be authentic on social media platforms and internet chat forums.”

Wallace’s lawyers claim in his new lawsuit that her recent petition “conceded that Lively has no facts supporting the allegations she made against Wallace and Street in the Precursor which ‘made headlines around the world’ as she now, apparently under the threat of sanctions from one of Plaintiffs’ attorneys, sought to ‘investigate the scope of Mr. Wallace’s conduct.’ “

In response to the lawsuit, Lively’s legal team said in a statement, “Another day, another state, another nine-figure lawsuit seeking to sue Ms. Lively ‘into oblivion’ for speaking out against sexual harassment and retaliation.”

“This is not just a publicity stunt — it is transparent retaliation in response to allegations contained within a sexual harassment and retaliation complaint that Ms. Lively filed with the California Civil Rights Department,” her lawyers add. “While this lawsuit will be dismissed, we are pleased that Mr. Wallace has finally emerged from the shadows, and that he too will be held accountable in federal court.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wallace and the company are seeking a minimum of $7 million in damages plus “a court order stating that he didn’t engage in harassment or retaliation against the actress.”

“The statements of fact, actual or implied, of and concerning Plaintiffs in the Precursor and CRD Complaint are false, defamatory, made with either negligence or ‘actual malice’ and have caused millions of dollars in reputational harm including both general and special damages through emotional harm (Wallace), actual damages and real and projected loss of business (Wallace and Street) in an amount that exceeds $1,000,000,” Wallace’s Tuesday filing reads.

One of Wallace’s attorneys, Chip Babcock, a partner in the Texas law firm Jackson Walker, LLP, says in a statement, “Mr. Wallace, who is a very private person, has never met or spoken to Ms. Lively. Ever. He has not engaged in a smear campaign against her at any point in time. The decision to file this lawsuit to rightfully protect himself and his family was made after Ms. Lively not only filed against him first in Texas but, indicated she intended to name him in yet another lawsuit.”

The ongoing legal battle between Lively and Baldoni, 41, began in December 2024, when the actress filed a sexual-harassment complaint against Baldoni, alleging that he engaged in misconduct during the film’s production and a retaliatory smear campaign meant to “destroy” her reputation, which he has denied.

Baldoni countered Lively’s initial claim on Jan. 16 with a $400 million lawsuit against her, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist Leslie Sloane, alleging extortion, defamation and more.

Lawyers from both sides came face to face in court for the first time on Monday, Feb. 3, for a pre-trial conference, where the judge warned them to refrain from litigating the case in the public forum. Baldoni and Lively’s trial is currently scheduled for March 2026.

Travis Kelce Makes His Feelings Very Clear On Donald Trump’s Plans To Attend Super Bowl 59

Travis Kelce has shared his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s plans to attend Super Bowl 59 to watch the Eagles and the Chiefs square off in what promises to be an exciting end to the 2024 NFL season.

Chiefs @ Eagles – NFL Game Preview for February 09, 2025

Trump’s attendance was confirmed on Tuesday. He will be the first sitting president in United States history to attend a Super Bowl.

The returning POTUS hasn’t officially announced his plans, but a White House official disclosed them, noting that the 78-year-old will be at the Caesars Superdome this coming Sunday.

The revelation hasn’t sat well with some folks, with USA Today writer Mike Freeman even slamming Trump’s decision to attend the game.

However, Kelce does not have a problem with it and told reporters he considers it an honor to play a game of such magnitude in front of a sitting President.

“That’s awesome,” he said. “It’s a great honor, no matter who the president is. I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life.”

 

Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift Will Likely Disagree On That

Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is unlikely to agree with him as she is a known Trump detractor and made her feelings on the elections clear during the race last year.

Swift publicly revealed she would be voting for Kamala Harris in a viral Instagram post.

The pop star is also expected to attend the big game and will hope to watch her partner lift the Lombardi Trophy for the second time since they got together in 2023.

Kelce, meanwhile, is chasing a fourth ring and what would be his third straight.

The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET this Sunday.

After weeks of speculation the Milwaukee Bucks have finally traded Khris Middleton, and while Kyle Kuzma improves the team, Giannis Antetokounmpo is understandably grieving the loss of his oldest teammate.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an interview with Giannis in which he shared his emotions post-trade.

“For me, for a lot of people, it can be business because they’ve been around him,” he said. “For me, it’s a little bit bigger than business. It’s family.” While he recognizes the transactional nature of the NBA, Antetokounmpo said his 12-year teammate remains his “brother.”

“I’m going to have a relationship with him after basketball. It kind of hurts, but at the end of the day, I understand the business side of things and I’m still going to show up to work and do my job until it’s my time to dip.”

Certainly Giannis, Khris and Bucks fans hold memories of their time together dating back to well before the 2021 Finals run. Although the team made the trade in the interests of claiming another ring, and even with all the rumors and time to prepare for the move, it is hard to put behind an era in Milwaukee that spans the duration of Antetokounmpo’s career.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton Brought Milwaukee Bucks Fans Iconic Memories

Yanking Milwaukee from the Eastern Conference basement, the Giannis-Middleton era produced 9 playoff appearances, including a pair of conference finals and the 2021 NBA title. While Khash has never been the same since his injury in the first round of the 2021-22 playoffs, he remains an icon of the championship core. Giannis says their relationship goes much deeper than that:

It’s not only that I’ve won, I’ve lost a lot of times with him. I’ve been in a dark place a lot of times with him. I’ve been in the bus going to a lot of pressure situations with him. It’s almost like I’ve been to war with him. That’s what I remember. Not only the good times we had, the one good time we had, I remember all the other times everyone was depending on us. The organization was depending on us. The city was depending on us. Our teammates were depending on us. I remember all those moments.

On the biggest stage in recent Bucks history, Middleton shone against Phoenix in the finals, averaging 24.0 PPG in six games including a 40-piece in Game 4 to even the series 2-2. Through changes at head coach, from Mike Budenholzer to Adrian Griffin to Doc Rivers, Middleton has been there, a stabilizing figure even in decline. He was there through the switch at point guard in the 2022-23 offseason, from Jrue Holiday to Damian Lillard.

Along with Giannis, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez and Pat Connaughton (sorry Thanasis), until this morning Middleton was one of the few surviving members from that ring-winning roster. With the trade deadline looming, any of Connaughton, Portis and Lopez could also find themselves elsewhere come 3:00 PM Thursday.

An Organization in Grieving

Of course, the Greek Freak isn’t the only member of the organization mourning the move. “Everybody’s going to miss Khris, his leadership,” Giannis lamented.

He continued:

For me, my brotherhood with Khris is the most important thing I’ve had within this team for a lot of years. We’re the oldest guys. Not the oldest guys, but we’ve been here together for 12 years. There’s been so many moments together. I’ve been around Khris more than I’ve been around my brothers and my family. I’ve had incredible moments on the court with him. Everybody’s gonna miss him.

Having spent all but his rookie season in Milwaukee, Middleton ends his Bucks tenure with 735 regular season games played averaging 17.1 PTS, 4.9 REB and 4.1 AST while shooting 46.1% from the field, 38.9% on threes, and 87.9% at the line.

In 80 playoff appearances, in 37.6 minutes per contest, those numbers spike to 20.6, 6.5 and 4.8 on 44.1/39.0/86.6 shooting splits.

Under contract through 2025-26, Middleton will be approaching 35 years of age upon its expiration. How much he has left in the tank is uncertain, but Bucks fans will be forever grateful for his heroics.

In recent weeks, a new chapter of the women’s basketball landscape has unfolded, revealing stark contrasts in popularity and viewership between some of the sport’s biggest stars. With the release of week 2 ratings for the new Unrivaled League, it’s become increasingly clear that the league is struggling to hold viewers’ attention, especially without the spotlight of Caitlin Clark. While Caitlin Clark continues to shine on the basketball court, making moves that leave a lasting impact on the game, Angel Reese and her Unrivaled League are facing significant challenges in proving their value in the world of women’s basketball.

Unrivaled League’s Struggling Viewership

The Unrivaled League, a new and ambitious project aimed at revolutionizing women’s basketball, promised to be a game-changer. With high expectations, big-name investors, and flashy promotions, it looked like this league could be the future of the sport. However, just two weeks in, the league’s viewership numbers have proven that reality is much harsher than anticipated.

The ratings from week 2 of the Unrivaled League are nothing short of disappointing. Monday night’s average viewership was 166,000, and Saturday’s dropped significantly to 98,000. Some games barely cracked 75,000 viewers—a far cry from the millions the league had hoped to attract. In fact, when Angel Reese faced off against D. Carrington in a much-hyped matchup, the viewership barely broke 75,000. These numbers highlight a glaring issue: fans simply aren’t tuning in, and without Caitlin Clark, the league seems unable to hold anyone’s attention.

The Caitlin Clark Effect

While the Unrivaled League flounders, Caitlin Clark continues to dominate the conversation in women’s basketball. Clark has become one of the most recognizable figures in the sport, transcending gender and positioning herself as a star in her own right. The viewership numbers in her games speak for themselves—Clark’s WNBA games routinely shatter records, pulling in millions of viewers each time she steps onto the court. Even ESPN, a network not traditionally focused on basketball, saw over a million viewers when Clark played.

In contrast, without Clark, even top players like Angel Reese are struggling to draw an audience. It’s become painfully clear that, despite Reese’s high-profile social media presence and self-promotion, her ability to captivate the masses is limited. Fans are tuning in for Caitlin Clark—not Reese—and that’s a hard truth that’s been exposed by the numbers. The latest viewership stats of the Unrivaled League underscore just how reliant the sport is on Clark’s star power.

The Growing Divide: Caitlin Clark’s NBA All-Star Snub

Adding to the growing narrative of Clark’s dominance in the women’s basketball scene is her recent decision to turn down an invitation to participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest. The speculated matchup between Clark and NBA stars like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson seemed like a dream scenario for many, with a potential historic crossover event that could boost the profile of women’s basketball even further. Yet, Clark made the decision to decline the invitation.

While many initially saw this as a missed opportunity, upon closer inspection, this was a genius move by Clark. Her reasoning for rejecting the contest was simple: the format of the NBA’s Three-Point Contest didn’t fit her style of play. Clark’s training regimen focuses on catch-and-shoot threes and off-the-dribble shots, which are not the focus of the NBA’s contest. For someone with Clark’s level of competitiveness, entering an event without being fully prepared to win was never an option. This decision proves Clark’s commitment to her craft and her desire to dominate on her own terms.

Rather than participating in a gimmicky event for the NBA’s benefit, Clark is keeping her eyes on the prize: dominating the WNBA and building her legacy there. The alternative? Clark’s first Three-Point Contest appearance could now take place at the WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, where the focus will remain on elevating women’s basketball rather than stealing attention from it.

Angel Reese: The Unrivaled League’s Struggling Star

While Caitlin Clark is setting records and making headlines, Angel Reese, the star of the Unrivaled League, is finding it increasingly difficult to live up to her self-proclaimed role as the face of women’s basketball. Reese has marketed herself as a major draw for the sport, even claiming that fans are tuning in specifically to watch her. Yet the numbers tell a different story. With some Unrivaled games barely cracking 75,000 viewers, it’s clear that Reese’s influence is not as strong as she—or the league—had hoped.

Beyond the lackluster ratings, Reese’s on-court performances have also drawn criticism. Viral clips from recent Unrivaled League games show her missing easy layups, airballing open three-pointers, and failing to live up to the expectations set for her. With her social media presence dominating her public image, Reese has failed to deliver on the court in a way that translates into viewership or credibility in the basketball world. Fans are calling her out, and some have even suggested that Reese is more of an Instagram model than a legitimate basketball player.

Caitlin Clark: The Future of Women’s Basketball

Caitlin Clark’s decision to decline the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest not only solidifies her status as a top competitor but also highlights a larger trend: Clark is focusing on building her legacy in the WNBA, the league that actually needs her presence to grow. While Reese and the Unrivaled League struggle to capture viewers’ attention, Clark continues to dominate in her own lane, focusing on her game and the growth of the sport for women.

Clark’s strategic decisions show that she’s more than just a player—she’s an agent of change in women’s basketball. By rejecting the NBA contest, Clark is ensuring that all eyes stay on the WNBA, not just on her in an NBA setting. Her legacy is being built on her terms, and her influence is undeniable. As for Reese, her time to shine may be over before it even started, as the world comes to realize that Clark is the true face of women’s basketball.

The future is clear: Caitlin Clark is the star of women’s basketball, and no matter how hard Angel Reese tries to make her presence felt, she can never truly fill Clark’s shoes.

Taylor Swift acquired another luxurious cat following the loss of her previous one, expressing, “I’m a huge cat enthusiast; I adore having them around me. I couldn’t care less about the criticism from haters. Cats bring me joy, and that’s what matters.”

 

Taylor Swift’s TikTok takeover continues with a hilarious new confession that she is, indeed, a certified cat lady.Swift is the proud cat mom of three kitties — Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button — whom she frequently features across her socials, holiday cards, music videos and on her merchandiseHowever, she revealed in a comical new video that she never intended to become a cat lady. In fact, she originally wasn’t a fan of the label and didn’t want that to become part of her identity.

The Grammy winner shared a throwback interview from 2014 in which she opens up about the hesitation she had about getting a feline companion for her first cat, Meredith. The companion would end up being Olivia.”[I talked with] friends about it and before I got the second cat. I was really kinda canvassing everyone I knew, going, ‘Is cats … cat lady? Or, you know, two cats is cats and there’s more than one?’” she explained. “And they’re like, ‘No, three cats is a cat lady. Two cats is a party.’”

 

The interview then abruptly cuts off and switches to present-day Swift, who is sauntering across the room with Meredith bouncing on her hip. The “willow” singer then walks off screen to grab hold of Benjamin and Olivia before sending a knowing glance at the camera.Swift captioned the video “little did she know” and included the appropriate hashtag “#meow.

In addition, she updated her TikTok bio line to now read: “This is pretty much just a cat account.”Benjamin is Swift’s newest kitty, meeting the little guy while filming her 2019 music video, “Me!” The singer even shared a sweet behind-the-scenes video of their fateful first meeting, when he stole her heart — and turned her into a cat lady — by purring up a storm the moment she held him.

Steph Curry tried to do something nice for Oakland, a city destroyed by rampant crime, but the idea went to s***.

Ayesha Curry, wife of Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry, decided to permanently shutter her Oakland-based coffee shop and home goods store, citing concerns for staff safety as the reason behind her decision.

Oakland is known for its rough streets and issues with burglary, which Curry’s shop, “Sweet July,” certainly struggled with for the past five years despite being a “love letter” to the city (as SFGATE notes).

“I heard someone in the store the other day tell her friend that this is exactly what Oakland needed,” Curry previously told the outlet. “It was an emotional moment, and a reminder of exactly why I started this journey way back in the beginning.”

Since businesses in California are beholden to the state’s poor governance (thanks, Newsom), Ayesha Curry cut her losses.

“We have loved being a part of Oakland and are grateful for the community that has opened their arms and embraced us,” a social media post announcing the decision read. “It has been an honor to serve you.”

As SFGate detailed, Curry’s concept for Sweet July was to create a hub for black-owned businesses.

Oakland’s thieves didn’t give much of a rip for the well-intended cause. Curry’s shop suffered several break-ins since opening in 2021.

From top to bottom, Oakland’s downfall has been representative of the misgivings people, including business owners, have had when starting brick-and-mortar stores in California.

As Fox News Digital reported, violent crime in Oakland was up 21 percent in 2023 from the previous year, with 120 homicides, 3,531 aggravated assaults and 3,690 robberies (per Oakland Police Department’s annual citywide end-of-year crime report).

Just last year, Oakland’s corrupt mayor, Sheng Thao, was recalled due to federal bribery charges.

The people of NorCal are so lost for leadership that some have considered voting for Marshawn Lynch, the former NFL player, as a possible candidate for Oakland’s mayoral seat. This is about the only way that the city’s conditions could worsen, considering Lynch is nothing more than a “useful idiot” who goes on trips to Communist Cuba to have “fun.” It’s true.

Oakland has gone to s**t. Perhaps it’s time for Republican leadership.

– Signed,

A Desperate Californian.

Ella Langley has seemingly taken over country music with her catchy tune, “You Look Like You Love Me,” which features Riley Green.

Langley was a recent guest on the God’s Country podcast, where she got to talking about her song and all of the random pickup lines she has heard from men over the years.

Langley says there’s one man in country music who spouts the best pickup lines ever.

“The best pickup lines I’ve ever heard is from Riley’s dad. He gives the best pickup lines I’ve ever heard in my life,” she reveals.

The podcast hosts, Dan and Reid Isbell, agreed and also asked Langley, “He, like, makes them up, right?”

Langley confirmed, saying, “Oh yeah, he makes them up, he’s like off the cuff and it’s incredible. It is a work of art, honestly.”

Green has posted about his pops before, sharing a lot of shirtless pictures of him. Apparently, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree on that one, as Green is now an underwear model and often appears shirtless.

People have already run through every rumor in the rumor mill about Langley possibly dating Green. The two have said multiple times that they are just friends who made some music together.

However, it turns out that Riley is not the only Green out there making the ladies giggle.

Here Are the Lyrics to Ella Langley and Riley Green, ‘You Look Like You Love Me’

Ella Langley and Riley Green’s “You Look Like You Love Me” sounds like a country throwback, but the lyrics recall a different era of songwriting, as well.

The boozy, piano-led, love (for a night) song showcases the warmth of Langley’s vocals at the chorus and relies heavy on their supernatural chemistry. What will make this song a hit, however, is the hook.

Listen once and try not to walk around the house singing “Excuuuse me” all day long.

We dare you.

Once in awhile a spoken-word ballad will surface on country radio, but they’re almost always led by men. Langley takes charge in more ways than one throughout “You Look Like You Love Me.” Her message is to go after what you want, consequences be damned.

Fifty years ago, it wasn’t unheard of for a second verse to replicate the first. Freddy Fender does it during “Before the Next Tear Drop Falls.” Merle Haggard’s “That’s the Way Love Goes” (written by Lefty Frizzell) doesn’t even bother with informing us further.

Green’s second verse corroborates Langley’s telling of the story, essentially echoing her yearning impulses. It’s a twist-free country song, which in 2024 is a twist in its own kind of way.

Ella Langley, Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me” Lyrics:

Ella Langley:

I was all but 22 / I think at the time / I’d been out on the road / Lonely at night / And it’d been a while / So it was on my mind.

Well, I saw him walk in / With his cowboy hat / And I thought to myself / I could use some of that / His boots like glass on a sawdust floor / Had moves like nothin’ I’d ever seen before.

So I walked right up / And I pulled him to the side / I handed him a beer and looked him right in the eye / And I said Baby, I think you’re gonna wanna hear this / Then I told him …

Chorus:

Excuse me / You look like you love me / You look like you want me / To want you to come on home / And baby, I don’t blame you / For lookin’ me up and down across this room / I’m drunk and I’m ready to leave / And you look like you love me.

Riley Green:

Well, I was down at the local beer joint with a few of the guys / When this cute little country girl caught my eye / And boy, let me tell you / She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen in a pair of boots / Well, she walked right up to me, handed me a beer / Gave me a look like, let’s get outta here / And that’s when I realized that she was every cowboy’s dream come true / She told me this right here, she said …

Repeat Chorus

Alright, now.

So if you ever see a man in a cowboy hat / And you think to yourself / I could use some of that / Don’t waste your time / Just give ’em this here line / Goes a little like this.

Repeat Chorus

Country music star Ella Langley continues to prove she’s not slowing down.

Langley moving the needle online has become her new norm. Whether it’s dropping great country music, showing off her archery skills or just about anything else you can imagine, she simply doesn’t miss.

The “Nicotine” and “you look like you love me” singer is outrageously talented, and that’s led to her having a significant following.

In fact, I’d argue there’s no woman in country music at the moment who is bigger.

Ella Langley closes out 2024 with viral Instagram post.

Well, it’s the end of December, Christmas is behind us and we’ll soon be welcoming a new year. It was a great year for a lot of people, and it was huge for Langley’s career.

How did she celebrate? By dropping some viral pictures and videos, including shots from Christmas and of her dog.

Who doesn’t love dog content to wrap up the year? Check it out below, and let me know what you think at [email protected].

Now, I don’t want to get into a contest with Langley about who has better dog content, but check out this beast below:

Doc is the next great hunting dog.

Now that we’ve got Doc on the record for OutKick readers, let’s pivot back to Langley knowing how to, once again, go viral on Instagram.

The young woman is a rising country star, and nothing can stop her at this point. The photo dump above is closing in on 70,000 likes as of publication.

Those are some big time numbers from the “hungover” singer.

Voicing the kids may have been “slightly annoying,” another X member shared they felt the way Timberlake behaved was “mean overall.”

“Y’all really are riding down for him omg i respect it, but I remain in the stance that it was mean & he could’ve kept that window up I fear,” they added.

Another user on X piped in with their opinion, reminding the general public celebrities would not have their platform “without fans.”

While many were critical of Timberlake’s behavior, some came to his defense, citing the kids as “provoking” him.

“I don’t think he was necessarily mean,” one of his defenders wrote, noting he seemed “irritated” after “being yelled at by a bunch of people.”

Another user applauded Timberlake’s response, calling it “appropriate.” Still, others pointed out how Timberlake was actually the one being harassed, questioning how him lashing out would be seen as mean.

Things haven’t been easy for Timberlake as of late.

Source: MEGAJustin Timberlake came under fire for things Britney Spears wrote about him in her memoir.

In September 2024, Timberlake pleaded guilty to drunk driving in Sag Harbor, N.Y., after he was arrested in June 2024 for being under the influence. Before his run-in with the law, at the end of 2023, Timberlake took a lot of heat when Britney Spears released her memoir.

In her book, The Woman in Me, Spears claimed she had an abortion when she was with Timberlake due to him not being ready to be a father.

After this revelation, Timberlake released his album Everything I Thought It Was in March 2024. The album was considered a flop, only lasting four weeks on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
