US EditionJudge Dismisses Social Media Guru From Blake Lively’s Justin Baldoni Suit
NEW YORK, JUL 16 – The dismissal of Jed Wallace for lack of New York jurisdiction delays Blake Lively's deposition to July 31, with ongoing claims of a coordinated smear campaign by Baldoni's PR team.
- On July 16, 2025, a federal judge in New York dismissed Blake Lively's lawsuit against Jed Wallace, a Texas-based publicist specializing in social media, citing lack of jurisdiction.
- Lively filed the civil rights complaint in December 2024, accusing Wallace of aiding Justin Baldoni's smear campaign and sexual harassment retaliation allegations.
- Judge Lewis Liman approved Wallace’s request to be removed as a defendant, along with his company Street Relations, due to the court’s lack of personal jurisdiction since Wallace is based in Texas rather than New York.
- The judge ruled that the court does not have personal jurisdiction over the Wallace Defendants, meaning they are not required to respond to the lawsuit in New York. If Lively wishes to proceed with her case against them, she must file it in another jurisdiction by July 31, 2025.
- The dismissal pauses this part of Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni while her deposition was rescheduled to July 31, 2025, and the broader trial is set for March 2026 in New York.
