Blake Lively is cleaning house after her brutal legal war with Justin Baldoni … cutting ties with longtime publicist Leslie Sloane after nearly two decades together.
Page Six reports Blake dropped Sloane — who had been with her since the “Gossip Girl” days — months after Blake and Baldoni finally settled their scorched-earth “It Ends With Us” legal war.
Sloane wasn’t just watching the legal mess from the sidelines either … Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit dragged her and her firm, Vision PR, directly into the fight … accusing them of taking part in a smear campaign against him. Those claims were later dismissed.
As TMZ previously reported, Blake and Justin settled in May just weeks before trial … with no money changing hands in the settlement.
We’d also reported there was plenty of behind-the-scenes drama in Blake’s camp leading up to the deal, including her bringing in powerhouse law firm Susman Godfrey.
The legal bills kept flying even after the truce … Blake later sought more than $8 million in fees and costs, but a judge ultimately awarded her about $400K.
Now another longtime member of Blake’s team is out … and neither side is reportedly commenting on the split.
