Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni : Patricia Glaser of Glaser Weil's Take on Litigation and PR
In this episode of The Intersection, Patricia Glaser joins Mike Sitrick to break down the explosive Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case—one of the biggest legal battles in Hollywood where PR strategy, public opinion, and legal media strategies are at play.
As the case dominates headlines and social media, lawyers, PR strategists and even fans are weighing in on how media influence on legal outcomes is shaping its trajectory.
Glaser offers expert insight into what went wrong, analyzing the PR and legal mistakes made by both parties. She zeros in on how things could have been handled differently to mitigate reputational damage.
Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and a smear campaign during the production of It Ends With Us, citing a hostile work environment. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation and extortion countersuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist. The feud escalated with leaked texts, PR battles, and a denied gag order request, further fueling the court of public opinion. As the case continues, it leaves both reputations in turmoil.
“I don't think there's necessarily a relationship between really good, effective media, and effective litigation, 'cause I think a lot of lawyers, unfortunately more than ever, are using the media to extort big settlements. Allegations have become evidence. And when you believe the allegations, then you have to have a Mike or somebody akin to a Mike to counter that because it's horrible stuff.”
Patricia Glaser is one of the most sought-after litigation lawyers in the country – and for good reason. As partner and head of the litigation department at the law firm Glaser Weil in Los Angeles, she’s seen more than her fair share of controversy. Her list of clients includes Fortune 500 companies, major studios, real estate investors and developers, financial institutions, and high-profile entertainers and public figures.
This episode explores: the Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni case, PR strategy, media influence on legal cases, litigation, crisis management in PR and crisis management in law.
