Leslie Sloane claimed she was “dragged” into the litigation as “smoke and mirrors” for Baldoni’s “own sexual harassment and systematic retaliation.”

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.

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

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 and Ryan Reynolds’ publicist Leslie Sloane is standing strongly with her clients against Justin Baldoni’s alleged “bizarre and abusive practices,” but the Vision PR boss wants herself and her company dropped from the legal battle between the It Ends With Us stars.

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.
