AceShowbiz - Journalist Kjersti Flaa has vehemently denied any involvement in Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign against Blake Lively. In a video posted on Threads, Flaa strongly refuted any allegations, stating, "I have nothing to do with it. I would never take part in anything like that. That is such an insult to me."
Flaa's denial comes after Lively filed a complaint accusing Baldoni of harassment on the set of "It Ends With Us" and alleging that he coordinated a smear campaign to damage her career. Flaa was mentioned in a New York Times article about Lively's complaint after her 2016 interview with the actress went viral around the time of the film's release.
Flaa claimed it was a coincidence that she re-shared the interview in August, saying, "I posted the video after I had seen the movie. ... I didn't like it." She also stated that she found the interview experience uncomfortable.
Baldoni's attorney also has denied the allegations, claiming that Lively and her representatives are making false accusations to publicly harm him and rehash a narrative in the media. Despite the denials, rumors of a feud between Lively and Baldoni have been swirling since the release of "It Ends With Us," with sources reporting a difficult work environment on set.
