Blake Lively Wins Dismissal of Defamation Lawsuit

Blake Lively has emerged victorious in her ongoing legal battle, as a defamation lawsuit filed against her by a crisis PR firm has been dismissed. The lawsuit, which was filed in Texas in February 2025, was brought by Jed Wallace and his company, Street Relations Inc., after Lively named them, along with Justin Baldoni, in her December 2024 California civil rights complaint.

However, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, the Texas court has dismissed the lawsuit due to a lack of personal jurisdiction. This means the judge ruled that the Texas court did not have the power to deal with the case.

Lively's representative has stated that with this decision, all of the retaliatory lawsuits filed against the actress by Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and their crisis communications and digital teams have now been dismissed. The representative also noted that Lively will have her day in court on her own claims in a trial scheduled for March.

It remains unclear whether Wallace and his PR firm plan to refile the lawsuit in a different state. The article does not provide any further details on the status of Lively's original civil rights complaint or the upcoming March trial.
