In a federal lawsuit, Blake Lively claimed that a mysterious Texas-based social media guru ran an untraceable smear campaign against her at the behest of Justin Baldoni. On Wednesday, a judge granted Jed Wallace’s motion to dismiss himself as a defendant in the case.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have attacked each other in court—and in the press—since filing competing lawsuits over treatment on the set of "It Ends With Us."
