PUBLICIST JENNIFER ABEL ALLEGEDLY BREAKS SILENCE ON EXPLOSIVE TEXT MESSAGES IN BALDONI LAWSUITIST

Jennifer Abel, the publicist at the center of Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, is allegedly sharing her side of the story. After text messages between Abel and crisis management expert Melissa Nathan were revealed as part of the lawsuit between Lively and Baldoni, what appears to be Abel herself, took to a PR and marketing Facebook group to defend herself and offer her perspective on the situation to the 21k members.

Lively's lawsuit alleges that Baldoni, her director and co-star in the film "It Ends With Us," engaged in sexual harassment and then orchestrated a smear campaign to damage her reputation. The revealed text messages appear to show Baldoni, Abel, and Nathan discussing strategies to discredit Lively, with phrases like "bury" and "destroy" being used.

The case continues to draw attention to the issue of power dynamics  in Hollywood, as well as the ethical considerations within the public relations field.
