Blake Lively has terminated her long-standing relationship with publicist Leslie Sloane following the controversy surrounding her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, according to Page Six. Lively hired Sloane over two decades ago when she was gaining popularity on "Gossip Girl," and Sloane later founded Vision PR where she represented numerous high-profile clients including Katie Holmes and Uma Thurman. The split occurred after Lively faced public backlash during her 18-month legal battle with Baldoni, which incurred combined legal fees of $60 million for both parties.

Story summary
Blake Lively has terminated her long-term relationship with publicist Leslie Sloane, who had managed her career for over two decades. Sloane was instrumental in helping Lively rise to fame during her time on the TV show "Gossip Girl." The separation reportedly came as a result of negative publicity surrounding Lively's legal battle with Justin Baldoni. This lawsuit, initiated by Lively in December 2024, led to significant public backlash and incurred combined legal fees of $60 million for both parties. Sloane had worked at PR firm Baker Winokur Ryder before founding her own company, Vision PR, which has represented high-profile clients such as Katie Holmes, Chris Rock, and Uma Thurman.
