  • 🎙️ $400M Lawsuit Thrown Out: Blake Lively’s Legal Win or PR Headache?


    This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the latest twist in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga — and it’s not as clear-cut as the headlines suggest.


    🧾 Judge Lewis J. Liman has officially dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and PR firm Vision. But contrary to what’s being reported… this wasn’t about truth or lies.


    📌 The judge ruled the claims in Lively’s complaint were legally privileged — meaning the court couldn’t consider them as part of the lawsuit.

    👉 That doesn’t mean her claims were proven true.

    👉 It also doesn’t mean Baldoni was cleared.

    👉 It simply means: The case couldn’t proceed.


    Jacki and Lyle dive into:

    What this dismissal actually means for all parties involvedWhy this could still be a PR nightmare for Blake LivelyThe blurred lines between legal wins and public perceptionThe importance of reporting facts without spinAnd whether there’s more to this story that’s yet to come...

    🎧 Listen now for a smart, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the biggest celebrity legal battles of the year — and what it tells us about power, PR, and public opinion in 2025.

  • 🎙️ Le Slap: The Viral Moment the Macrons Didn’t Want You to See


    This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the slap that’s got everyone talking — when Brigitte Macron appeared to shove her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, in the face as they exited a state plane… with cameras rolling. Officially? Just “horseplay.” But the internet isn’t buying it.


    🇫🇷 From their controversial origin story — yes, Brigitte was Emmanuel’s teacher — to the intense scrutiny they now face, this moment has reignited public fascination and conspiracy theories alike.


    Jacki calls this a live case study in 21st-century reputation management:

    🎭 How do public figures lose control of their carefully crafted narratives?🤐 Why the “blame Russia” excuse was desperate🔍 What can the Macrons learn from others who’ve navigated scandal better?

    This episode also spotlights:

    💡 Candace Owens & Xavier Poussard’s Becoming Brigitte

    📉 How image control collapses in the age of social media

    🔥 Why Jacki says it’s time for the Macrons to “just stop” trying to manage the message

    With serious charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution, the legal stakes are sky-high. But in the age of 24/7 headlines and online outrage, there's another court at play: the court of public opinion. And it’s dragging high-profile names into the spotlight — whether they like it or not.


    🔥 What happens when your reputation is at risk just by association?

    🧠 How should public figures respond when their name is pulled into scandal — even indirectly?

    🎤 What can stars like Jay-Z and Jennifer Lopez teach us about playing defense in a PR storm?

  • 🎙️ This week on The Rest Is PR — The Blake Lively x Justin Baldoni drama just escalated… and now Taylor Swift’s dad is allegedly involved?


    Jacki and Lyle dive into the latest twist in the celebrity comms crisis that’s taken social media by storm. Reports suggest Scott Swift may have leaked claims that Blake Lively threatened to release private messages with Taylor Swift if she didn’t show public support — a claim strongly denied by Lively’s team. While a judge has ordered the claims be struck from the record, the reputational fallout may be irreversible.


    💥 Justin Baldoni drops his subpoena — is the damage already done?

    ⚖️ A judge calls the leak “improper” — but public perception is hard to erase.

    🎤 Could this all be Reputation-era PR from Taylor Swift herself?


    From legal drama to strategic silence, Jacki and Lyle unpack what this mess means for everyone involved — and what lessons we can all take from it about controlling the narrative when crisis hits.

  • This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the fallout from Blake Lively’s controversial speech at the TIME100 Gala—an event meant to celebrate her influence, but one that may have sparked one of her biggest PR missteps to date.


    After being named one of Time’s Most Influential Women, Lively took the stage and referenced her ongoing legal dispute with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, before sharing deeply personal details about her mother’s history of sexual assault. The reaction? Divisive, with Megyn Kelly calling it an “unnecessary PR stunt.”


    🎧 In this episode:

    Why the speech is being criticised as tone-deaf and strategicJacki questions the timing and whether Lively planned this return to the spotlightLyle asks: Can celebrities ever really control the narrative?Discussion on the fine line between advocacy and brand buildingCould Ryan Reynolds’ brand be impacted by association?What stars like Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise get right about brand protection

    Has Meghan missed the mark, or is the backlash unfair?

  • This week, Jacki and Lyle outline their tip tops when it comes to celebrities, and indeed anyone, looking to stage a comeback after a crisis. It comes after Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance at the SNL50 anniversary show, where Reynolds engaged in a skit with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler where he appeared to joke about Lively's ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. Suffice to say, the joke has not gone down well, and Jacki in particular believes that far from standing by his wife, Reynolds may well need to start looking into his own comeback as his stock starts to fall! Jacki and Lyle break down some of the best and worst comebacks by celebrities of recent times. The likes of Martha Stewart and Robert Downey Jr. are referred to as great comebacks, with Stewart now a household name once more despite a stint in prison, and RDJ having recovered from alcohol and drug addiction to become the assumed saviour of the multi-million dollar Marvel franchise! Conversely, Phillip Schofield is once again mentioned when it comes to poorly executed comebacks, with the former ITV presenter seemingly having earned sympathy from the public after his interview with the BBC's Amol Rajan, only for his stock to plummet after his ill-advised Castaway appearance. Meghan Markle is also analysed as she looks to stage another comeback, this time with a rebranded jam business! The duo deliver their top tips and big no-nos when it comes to mounting a comeback, with acknowledgment, awareness and empathy at the heart of what makes a comeback successful.

  • This week, there really is only one place to start for Jacki and Lyle - Kendrick Lamar, his feud with Drake, and THAT Superbowl Halftime Show! Just days after Kendrick's song 'Not Like Us' won all 5 of the Grammys it was nominated for, including Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video, it was his Best Rap Performance win that he doubled down on at this year's Superbowl, teasing the song throughout his exceptional Halftime Show performance before delivering an early contended for viral moment of the year with the rendition of the Drake diss track towards the end of his set. Jacki and Lyle do their very best to break down the feud between two giants of the genre in Kendrick and Drake, with Lyle put on the spot by Jacki to demonstrate his knowledge of how the beef between the pair started, and what the key moments have been so far. Jacki then takes a slightly different angle on events, comparing Drake's predicament to that of Blake Lively who herself has once again been in the news as Justin Baldoni's stock in their feud continues to rise. The mantra of 'just stop' that Jacki has created over the last few weeks is once again in full flow as she encourages Drake to take a step back and ponder his next week after Kendrick confidently declared 'game over' on their feud, seemingly intimating that he has won the day. This is a feeling echoed by a number of industry analysts and social media commentators alike, although Jacki feels this may well eventually benefit Drake, who she feels might garner some sympathy out of recent events. Lyle questions whether all parties involved in both feuds may be prolonging these controversies for their own gain, with Drake and Kendrick in particular having potentially benefited from their feud in the form of increased streams and sales of their records. There is time for Lyle's own version of the now viral 'Hey Drake' in what is a compelling Valentine's Day episode!
