In court documents obtained by Page Six, Jed Wallace is claiming that the actress defamed him and his company, Street Relations Inc., when she filed her December 2024 complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department.
Not only did Lively accuse her “It Ends With Us” co-star of sexual harassment in the complaint, but she alleged that he engaged in a social media “smear campaign” against her.
The “Gossip Girl” alum identified Wallace and Street Relations Inc. in the filing but did not name either as defendants in the lawsuit she filed with the New York federal court later.
However, in this new lawsuit against Lively, Wallace claimed that the actress asked a judge to authorize deposing him, accusing him of being a subcontractor to TAG — the company she claims engaged in an “unlawful retaliatory social combat campaign” against her.
Wallace, who insists this is false, wrote that this alleged mistake cost him “millions of dollars in reputational harm with a projected loss to his company that exceeds another million.”
Lively’s legal team, in turn, clapped back at the lawsuit in a statement to TMZ, writing, “Another day, another state, another nine-figure lawsuit seeking to sue Ms. Lively ‘into oblivion’ for speaking out against sexual harassment and retaliation.”
His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, subsequently teased a website launch featuring correspondence that would allegedly “directly quash” Lively’s claims about Baldoni.
As raw movie footage and middle-of-the-night voice messages were subsequently released, Lively and Reynolds, 48, requested a gag order to silence Freedman.
The promised website, nevertheless, launched over the weekend, with Baldoni sharing a filing from the lawsuit containing a slew of text messages between himself and Lively.
