Blake Lively Secures Crucial Victory in Justin Baldoni Legal Battle
  • Blake Lively Secures Crucial Victory in Justin Baldoni Legal Battle by obtaining a modified protective order to shield sensitive information from public disclosure.
  • The protective order designates certain documents as “attorney’s eyes only” to prevent leaks of trade secrets and personal information.
  • The legal dispute involves allegations of sexual harassment and defamation with a trial scheduled for May 2026.

In the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and her co-star and director Justin Baldoni from the film “It Ends With Us,” an important development has come to light. A federal judge recently issued a revised protective order aimed at restricting the sharing of confidential information pertaining to the case.

Under this new ruling, certain documents can now be designated as “attorney’s eyes only,” meaning that only the legal representatives involved in the case are allowed access to them. This ensures that sensitive information such as trade secrets, confidential business strategies, security protocols, medical records, and personal data remain out of public reach.

The legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni originated in December 2024, following Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment and claims that Baldoni was engaged in a campaign to tarnish her reputation.

In turn, Baldoni countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, claiming defamation. The protective order was requested to keep sensitive information, which includes details about other celebrities and their publicists, under wraps during the pretrial stage.

Judge Lewis J. Liman pointed out that while the protective order doesn’t offer blanket protection, it does focus on specific information that could lead to serious harm if revealed.

@nytimes As the movie “It Ends With Us” became a box office success, online criticism of Blake Lively skyrocketed. A New York Times review of private messages and documents shows what happened after she accused Justin Baldoni, her co-star and the director, and Jamey Heath, the lead producer, of misconduct on set. Megan Twohey, our investigative reporter, explains the inner workings of an alleged Hollywood smear campaign that followed. Read the full investigation at the link in our bio.

This ruling is seen as a partial win for Lively, as her original request was only “granted in part and denied in part.” Nevertheless, Lively’s legal team believes this decision is crucial in preventing witness intimidation and ensuring everyone’s safety in the situation.

With the trial scheduled to start in May 2026, both sides are gearing up for the proceedings. Given the high-profile nature of the case, it’s been attracting a lot of attention, with both parties trying to sway public opinion alongside the court system.
