Among the topics of conversation, according to the lawsuit… Baldoni allegedly shows Blake a nude photo, talks about a “porn addiction,” discusses sexual exploits and mentions Blake’s weight.
Those demands — and others — were accepted by the studio, according to the lawsuit … though differences in the film’s marketing strategy remained.
Blake also claims Baldoni and two crisis PR gurus — Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel — engaged in an attempt to damage her reputation … including a series of alleged messages obtained by civil subpoena.
