Actress Blake Lively has chosen to hire Nick Shapiro to serve as her PR crisis manager.
The news comes amid escalating legal battle with fellow co-star and director Justin Baldoni.
The actress took a bold step to hire the former CIA deputy chief as she continues to accuse him of s*xual harassment and retaliation, sources shared.
In the latest lawsuit, the actress blasted Baldoni for harassing her in several different ways. This includes improvising unwanted touching and also body shaming her on frequent instances. If that was not enough, she’s also slamming him for rolling out a smear campaign against her that was designed to damage her reputation.
Baldoni has opted to fight back after hearing the news. He’s now suing her and her husband Ryan Reynolds for a whopping $400 million for trying to destroy his reputation and also similarly sued the New York Times for defamation for the mega $250M.
