Amber Heard has responded after Blake Lively said her co-star, Justin Baldoni, started a plan to damage her reputation. Heard claims she saw this happen firsthand and that it was terrible and harmful. This comes after it was revealed that Baldoni used the same crisis management team as Heard’s ex-husband, Johnny Depp, during their defamation trial.
Blake Lively, 37, has filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 40, alleging sexual harassment, creating a bad work environment, and trying to ruin her image. The lawsuit mentions that Baldoni hired a strong PR consultant, Melissa Nathan, to help Depp during his high-profile legal battle against Heard, where Depp won $15 million for being slandered.
Heard won $2 million in a countersuit after a jury looked at the details of her tough relationship with Depp. She explained that social media can turn lies into what people believe as truth.
Speaking with NBC News, Heard echoed this idea, saying, “A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on.” She noted it is shocking and destructive.
Lively claims that after she and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, spoke about the sexual harassment and bad behavior they faced from Baldoni and a producer, someone tried to hurt her reputation. According to her complaint, the plan involved spreading false information online and writing unflattering articles about her.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, argued that they hired a crisis manager because of multiple threats from Lively during filming and called her accusations “false and outrageous.”
