Blake Lively, known for her role in "Gossip Girl, " has filed a civil rights complaint against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni. She alleges sexual harassment during the filming of the movie. Lively also claims that Baldoni's PR firm, The Agency Group (TAG PR), used a PR tactic called astroturfing to tarnish her reputation. This involves creating fake online posts to make it seem like many people are saying negative things about her.

The public has noticed these posts, and many people have criticized Lively. They brought up old interviews and her controversial wedding at a plantation. However, Lively has managed to change the conversation. Now, people are more focused on the accusations against Baldoni.

Baldoni's career has already taken a hit. He lost an award for being an ally to women. His talent agency, WME, dropped him. Even his podcast co-hosts and non-profits have distanced themselves from him. A legal expert thinks Baldoni's career will continue to suffer and that Lively could win millions of dollars in the lawsuit. This case reminds some people of the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard case.

Baldoni's career might be in serious trouble. A legal expert said he needs strong legal defenses and a targeted campaign to revive his career. Even the author of the book "It Ends With Us" and the film's distributor, Sony, support Lively. They think attacks on her reputation are wrong.
