Blake Lively's publicist says she shouldn't be a defendant in Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake because, despite Baldoni's claims to the contrary, she didn't start this public relations war.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ publicist Leslie Sloane is standing strongly with her clients against Justin Baldoni’s alleged “bizarre and abusive practices,” but the Vision PR boss wants herself and her company dropped from the legal battle between the It Ends With Us stars.
