Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' publicist Leslie Sloane filed a motion to dismiss, asking to be removed from Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit. In the filing, her lawyers say Lively 'bravely spoke up about Baldoni’s predatory behavior.

Blake Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane is asking to be released from Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against them and Ryan Reynolds.

Blake Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane, argued it was not defamatory to say that the whole cast of "It Ends With Us" hated director Justin Baldoni.

Baldoni denied the allegations and subsequently filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively, Sloan and Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni accused the group of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims.

Blake Lively's publicist says she shouldn't be a defendant in Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake because, despite Baldoni's claims to the contrary, she didn't start this public relations war.

Allegedly false statements from Leslie Sloane of Vision PR include assertions that the "whole cast doesn't like Justin" and that "Blake was sexually assaulted." She says they aren't defamatory.
