Amber Heard has claimed social media spreads lies more quickly than it does the truth, in the wake of Blake Lively’s complaint against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. US actress Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, hostile work environment and embarking on a “multi-tiered plan” to damage her reputation with claims of a targeted social media campaign. The legal complaint states that Baldoni, 40, hired crisis communications specialist Melissa Nathan, the same publicist who actor Johnny Depp is said to have hired during his high-profile defamation trial against Heard in 2022. In a statement given to NBC News , Aquaman star Heard said: “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying, a lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on. “I saw this first-hand and up close. “It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.” Depp successfully sued ex-wife Heard over a 2018 article she wrote for The Washington Post about her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, which his lawyers said falsely accused him of being an abuser. At the time, Heard said the jury’s verdict “sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated”. Bryan Freedman, a lawyer representing Baldoni and the other named defendants, said Lively’s claims were “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious”, adding that the studio “made the decision to proactively hire a crisis manager prior to the marketing campaign of the film”. It Ends With Us, based on Colleen Hoover’s novel of the same name, is about a woman’s pursuit of a loving and healthy relationship, with Lively playing lead character Lily Bloom and Baldoni as her love interest Ryle Kincaid amid a backdrop of domestic violence. After the legal action was filed, Hoover appeared to voice support for 37-year-old Lively, writing on her Instagram stories: “@blakelively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. “Never change. Never wilt.” Hoover posted a link to a New York Times article titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside A Hollywood Smear Machine. Lively’s former cast members from the 2005 film The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel, also released a joint social media statement to defend their long-time friend. “As Blake’s friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,” the statement said. “Throughout the filming of It Ends With Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice.” They added: “We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment,” the statement continues. “We are inspired by our sister’s courage to stand up for herself and others.”St. Mary’s pulls out fifth straight Boverini title

A former Matt Gaetz pal who pleaded guilty to underage sex-trafficking charges once used an image of the pol in what appears to be a classroom as his pitch to “meet” a 20-year-old woman in exchange for $400, an ethics report alleges . Joel Greenberg, 40, an ex-tax collector in Florida , stumbled upon the woman on the website SeekingArrangement.com, which is known for so-called sugar-daddy dating, according to a damning House Committee on Ethics draft report on Gaetz, a 42-year-old former congressman from the Sunshine State. “I have a friend who introduced me to the website that I could bring,” the woman wrote Greenberg in a September 2018 message, according to the draft report. “She’s very pretty, great personality. I usually do $400 per meet, does your friend use the website as well?” Greenberg replied, “Very cool. “Yes he understands the deal :)” Greenberg added. “What does your friend look like? $400 is not a problem. Are you both old enough to drink?” Greenberg then sent the photo of Gaetz taking a selfie with someone who was blurred out in front of what appears to be a classroom whiteboard. “Oooh my friend thinks he’s really cute!” the then-20-year-old replied. Greenberg, who is now serving an 11-year prison sentence, stressed that he and Gaetz “work hard and play hard,” before asking the woman if she’s tried Molly, another nickname for the stimulant drug Ecstasy. Gaetz ended up meeting the unidentified woman “on several occasions,” paid her over $2,000 and “continues to follow her on social media,” the draft report alleges. Two weeks after their initial introduction, Gaetz invited her and “another woman who he regularly paid for sex to meet him at the hotel, without disclosing to her that others would be present,” the draft report says. That other woman, who was 21 at the time, allegedly pleaded with Gaetz to help her foot the bill for her college tuition. “The 21-year-old woman told the Committee there was an ‘expectation’ of a ‘sexual encounter,’ ” the draft report claimed, noting that the three of them and Greenberg had sex. “Afterwards Representative Gaetz gave her a $750 check made out to cash with ‘tuition reimbursement’ in the memo line, which she deposited the next day to help pay her tuition.” Later on, the woman suggested to the House Committee on Ethics that the exchange “could potentially be a form of coercion because I really needed the money.” On Monday, the House Committee on Ethics unveiled its draft report detailing its findings on Gaetz, following its lengthy investigation into accusations against him. Gaetz later sued to block the report’s release. The panel cited the Greenberg message as a sampling of evidence it obtained to back up its claims of Gaetz meeting with women — at least 20 times between early 2017 through mid-2020 — “who were paid for sex and/or drugs.” Gaetz later tied the knot with Ginger Luckey in 2021. The House Committee on Ethics’ investigation into Gaetz commenced in 2021 but was halted by a Justice Department sex-trafficking probe that revolved around him. In February of last year, the DOJ opted against charging him. Then the ethics panel recommenced its probe of him shortly thereafter. Many details of the report’s accusations had been previously known, such as allegations that he had sex with a minor. A lawyer for one of the people who claimed to have witnessed Gaetz’s alleged sexual encounter with a minor said her “understanding was that Matt Gaetz did not know that [the 17-year-old] was a minor. “When he learned that she was a minor ... he broke off things and did not continue a sexual relationship until she turned 18,” the lawyer said, quoting her client, ABC News reported. Gaetz had been President-elect Donald Trump’s initial pick to serve as US attorney general, though he bowed out of consideration last month when it became clear he faced an uphill battle to get confirmed. The pol stepped down from the 118th Congress and has indicated that he won’t return to the 119th Congress when it gets sworn in next month. He is set to anchor a show on the One America News Network next month. The former congressman has blasted the House committee for releasing its report and underscored that the DOJ did not pursue charges against him. “In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated — even some I never dated but who asked,” Gaetz has previously written on X. “I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. “My 30’s were an era of working very hard – and playing hard too. It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.”A civil jury in Ireland finds that mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor assaulted a woman in a hotel.
