Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni’s Legal War Heads to Trial
Hold onto your popcorn, because the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is getting messier than a toddler’s birthday party! The “It Ends With Us” co-stars and director are locked in a public feud that’s escalated faster than a Gossip Girl scandal.
Courtroom Showdown: Lively and Baldoni’s Legal Battle Heats Up
A New York judge has set a trial date for March 2026, but the drama is already reaching a fever pitch. Lively’s lawyers have accused Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, of trying to sabotage her career and taint the jury pool by creating a website with juicy tidbits from their legal battle. They’re calling for an end to the “endless stream of defamatory and extrajudicial media statements.”
Freedman, however, is firing back, accusing Lively of being “petrified of the truth.” He claims they’re simply defending their client with “pure, unedited facts” and wants the public to see the evidence for themselves.
Meanwhile, Baldoni’s attorney, Kevin Fritz, has accused Lively of waging a “scorched-earth media campaign” that has damaged his client’s reputation and caused “hundreds of millions of dollars” in damages. Yikes!
Texas Twist: Lively Targets Social Media “Manipulator”
But wait, there’s more! In a separate legal move in Texas, Lively is going after Jed Wallace, a crisis management specialist she claims orchestrated a social media smear campaign against her during the film’s release. She alleges that Wallace used Reddit and TikTok to manipulate public opinion and turn the tide against her.
“It Ends With Us”… Or Does It?
This legal battle is far from over, and it’s unclear who will emerge victorious. One thing’s for sure: this behind-the-scenes drama is juicier than anything we saw on screen in “It Ends With Us.”
