Caught on Tape: PR Firm's Sex Trafficking Smear Plan
13 Mar
Summary
- PR firm allegedly plotted to accuse producer of sex trafficking.
- A recording allegedly captures the plot to frame Amanda Ghost.
- The PR team was also accused of smearing Blake Lively previously.
A crisis public relations firm is accused of plotting to smear Hollywood producer Amanda Ghost with false sex trafficking allegations. An alleged audio recording purportedly captures Jed Wallace, the PR firm's head, instructing publicist Melissa Nathan to accuse Ghost of procuring young women for wealthy clients, likening her to a 'madame'.
This alleged scheme was reportedly aimed at damaging Ghost's reputation, who is a co-producer on Rebel Wilson's film 'The Deb'. A website, now deleted, had previously made similar accusations against Ghost.
The PR firm's alleged actions are drawing parallels to a previous incident where the same team was accused of orchestrating smear campaigns against Blake Lively. Bryan Freedman, who was Wilson's lawyer at the time and has also represented Justin Baldoni, is mentioned in the recording.
Ghost and other co-producers are currently involved in a defamation lawsuit with Rebel Wilson, stemming from Wilson's accusations of sexual harassment and embezzlement against them.
