Okay so took a second to read the Fifth Circuit appeal filing from Jed Wallace/Street Relations and… this thing accidentally reads like a recap of why Blake’s side keeps surviving these attacks.

For anyone confused:

This is NOT Blake suing him.

This is Jed Wallace appealing because the Texas court DISMISSED HIS CASE against Blake. Meaning he already lost once and the judge’s summary of the facts is honestly fascinating because the court repeatedly frames the situation around:

• alleged harassment
• alleged retaliation
• crisis PR
• and “social/digital mitigation and remediation” efforts tied to Baldoni’s team.

 

That wording matters A LOT. The judge literally summarizes Blake’s allegations as Baldoni becoming concerned she might speak publicly about harassment allegations and then bringing in Melissa Nathan + crisis management people, including Wallace/Street Relations.  

With Wallace’s own role is described as:

“social/digital mitigation and remediation regarding Wayfarer Studios”  Like… I’m sorry but that is not helping the “there was no smear campaign” discourse at all.

The court ALSO references:

“the alleged retaliation campaign”  

Again: this is a federal judge summarizing the allegations underlying the case, not Reddit conspiracy posting. (BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THERE WAS AND STILL IS A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST HER)

Another huge detail:

the order specifically notes that other defamation claims brought by Baldoni-associated parties had already been dismissed too.  

So the overall scoreboard lately has basically been:

• Blake getting claims dismissed
• jurisdiction issues killing cases
• retaliation allegations continuing to stay central
• and PR/social media activity continuing to appear throughout filings

Now Wallace is appealing because the Texas judge granted Blake’s motion to dismiss.  

The irony is this appeal filing keeps re-highlighting:

• the NYT “Hollywood smear machine” article
• the retaliation allegations
• the social media mitigation work
• and the alleged coordination after Blake raised concerns

So even though this was supposed to help Wallace, it honestly reads like another document reinforcing Blake’s overall narrative. At minimum, this filing makes it VERY hard to keep pretending the PR/digital manipulation angle was invented out of thin air because the courts themselves keep summarizing it as a core factual component of the dispute.
