Grapevine Scoop: Blake Lively Prepares to Take the Stand Against Justin Baldoni
Actor Blake Lively is set to provide testimony against Justin Baldoni.
Get ready for some juicy courtroom drama! Blake Lively, everyone's favorite Serena van der Woodsen, is stepping into the limelight once again, this time as a key witness in the upcoming trial against her co-star and director in "It Ends with Us," Justin Baldoni. Her lawyer, Mike Gottlieb, has confirmed that Blake will testify under oath.
In an exclusive interview with People, Gottlieb said, "Yep, she's gonna testify. We're banking on the courtroom being the pivotal moment for a plaintiff's case. Of course, we expect her to be a witness in her case. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, right?"
But, Blake won't be flying solo. "There are folks who witnessed misconduct or experienced it, which is relevant to Mrs. Lively's allegations," Gottlieb emphasized. "We're counting on their testimonies, especially about events on set, to corroborate her claims."
Rumors have been swirling since Lively's powerful speech at the Time100 gala in late April. She hinted at the ongoing legal saga by telling the audience, "The last two years of my life, wow, there's so much to say!"
As for Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, the jury's still out. Speculations about his potential involvement in the trial remain unconfirmed. Reynolds, who is currently listed as a defendant in Baldoni's countersuit, finds himself fighting to clear his name as Lively's team endeavors to dismiss these claims. "We think they're just a bunch of hot air," Gottlieb quipped.
Baldoni's team has been making headlines recently with threats of potentially subpoenaing celebrities like Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman into the trial. But, according to Gottlieb, these high-profile names have no business being part of this case. "It's a messy misunderstanding about what transpired on set, not an audition for 'American Idol' or a casting call for the next 'Deadpool' flick," he explained.
Of course, as you might expect from any high-profile Hollywood legal drama, there's more than just a smidgen of he-said, she-said going on. Baldoni denies Lively's claims and has fired back with a $400 million defamation lawsuit of his own. This media-hyped trial is set to commence in March 2026, but sadly, it won't be broadcast on TV like Depp vs. Heard. However, some lucky US media outlets will have access to audio recordings, so you may get a chance to tune in! Let the games begin!
