- Lively seeks enhanced protective order citing threats and witness intimidation.
- Baldoni’s team argues Lively has already publicized $exual harassment allegations.
- Legal battle involves multiple lawsuits and defamation claims.
Blake Lively’s request for a stronger protective order in the legal dispute with Justin Baldoni has been met with opposition from Baldoni, who accuses her of trying to conceal evidence from the public.
Lively’s legal representatives have put forth the argument that the sensitive nature of the case, coupled with the accusations of $exual misconduct, necessitates enhanced privacy measures to prevent potential threats and witness tampering. However, Baldoni’s legal team has contested this proposal, highlighting that Lively has already divulged the purported details of the harassment in her revised complaint.

Baldoni’s counsel has drawn attention to what they see as a contradiction in Lively’s actions, noting her active pursuit of the allegations in the public domain while simultaneously aiming to restrict access to certain information. They have also brought up Lively’s sharing of confidential materials with The New York Times during the initial stages of the lawsuit, which encompassed extensive documentation like emails and text messages.
Lively’s amended complaint brings forth new allegations that two female cast members from It Ends With Us are prepared to testify against Baldoni, although their identities were not revealed to protect them from further harm.
In the meantime, Baldoni has countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation, asserting that Lively made false accusations against him to salvage her reputation after the film’s press tour.
