He is filing a lawsuit against his former publicist Stephanie Jones and his company, Jonesworks. The actor accuses her of having leaked confidential information, which resulted in a lawsuit filed by Blake Lively against him. Baldoni claims that there was a contract violation and a “implicit pact of good faith” when Jones decided to sue him in December. According to Baldoni, Stephanie would have acted for her own benefit by supporting Blake Lively, which generated conflicts and complications for her company. In addition, Jennifer Abel, a former Baldoni advisor, also filed a lawsuit against Stephanie, claiming that she would have stolen documents and promoted a defamation campaign against Blake.
Baldoni’s process points out that Stephanie was annoyed to learn about his partnership with Melissa Nathan, which was suggested by Jennifer as new public relations manager. The complaint mentions that Stephanie threatened Jennifer and released sensitive information to Blake’s team, which further aggravated the situation. Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, argues that Stephanie has violated privacy and confidence rights in acting in this way. On the other hand, Jones’s representative Kristin Tahler argues that the lawsuit against her client is based on concrete facts and that Jennifer and Melissa would have conspired against Stephanie, creating a scenario of conflict.
