Blake Lively's defamation case against Jed Wallace tossed out
Blake Lively's defamation case against social media strategist Jed Wallace just hit a roadblock—a judge tossed it out because Wallace isn't connected enough to New York.
Lively's team says she's "evaluating her many options."
The judge noted she could refile her claims in Texas, where Wallace lives and works.
Lively accused Wallace of running an online smear campaign
Lively accused Wallace of running an online smear campaign against her during the 2024 release of It Ends With Us, saying he was brought in by co-star Justin Baldoni's team.
But New York law doesn't let you sue someone from out of state for defamation, so now Texas is on the table.
Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni is still moving forward
Lively's bigger lawsuit against Baldoni and others is still moving forward, with a trial set for March 2026 in New York.
Meanwhile, Wallace is pursuing his own defamation lawsuit against Lively in Texas.
