Boies Schiller Flexner won a full dismissal, with prejudice, of defamation claims brought by Hollywood director Justin Baldoni and his company, Wayfarer Studios, against Blake Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, and her company, Vision PR. The claims were brought in response to a lawsuit Ms. Lively filed alleging sexual harassment she and others experienced while filming the movie, “It Ends With Us.”
BSF Managing Partner Sigrid McCawley argued that Ms. Sloane was wrongfully dragged into Mr. Baldoni’s lawsuit to harm her reputation. “This decision by the court makes clear that Sloane did nothing wrong. Sloane stands fully vindicated, and justice has been served,” said Sigrid.
In addition to Sigrid, the BSF team representing Ms. Sloane and her company include partner Andrew Villacastin and associates Lindsey Ruff and Rachael Schafer. Several media outlets covered the dismissal, quoting Sigrid. Please see links to the coverage below.
