Crisis management experts say tough tactics are part of the game but warned against going too far. "A crisis management person is hired to make sure all the assets are protected," a veteran crisis management publicist told BI. Unlike regular publicists, who "don't want to get their hands dirty," crisis PR firms are trained for this very purpose. Related stories"It's not frowned upon, just amateurish," the veteran crisis management publicist said. "It does give the industry a black eye, and I think it should be a cautionary tale," a prominent industry figure who runs a crisis management firm told BI.

A new lawsuit filed Tuesday by publicist Stephanie Jones alleges that Justin Baldoni and his PR reps tried to smear Blake Lively. A publicist who previously represented Justin Baldoni says one of her former employees orchestrated a smear campaign against Blake Lively without the public relations firm's knowledge — and then stole Baldoni and other celebrities as clients. The lawsuit alleges that the goal was to "destroy" Lively, Baldoni's co-star in "It Ends With Us," to cover up Baldoni's own misconduct on set. Bryan Freedman, an attorney representing Baldini, Abel, Nathan, and their companies, previously called Lively's allegations "completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious." She sent BI an email and text messages showing she submitted her resignation in July with plans to start her own public relations firm.

Amber Heard said social media is where a lie becomes the truth in response to the complaint Blake Lively filed against her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni, telling NBC News on Monday she "saw this firsthand." Lively accused Baldoni, the film's director, of sexual harassment, hostile work environment and trying to tarnish her reputation with a targeted social media campaign in an undated complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department. Heard was also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages in her counterclaim, but nothing in punitive damages. Nathan delivered Baldoni a plan consisting of “social media mitigation," including “proactive fan posting" and “social manipulations” to “help change narrative” during the film's promotion, the complaint said. The film's promotion made headlines at the time because the two stars appeared to avoid each other as rumors swirled on social media that they did not get along on set.
