On-screen star Blake Lively set to appear against Justin Baldoni in a court hearing.
Gonna spill the champagne-spiked tea on this! Blake Lively, everyone's favorite Rufus Humphrey, is set to face her co-star and director, the charming Justin Baldoni, in a courtroom showdown! Lively's lawyer, Mike Gottlieb, confirmed in an exclusive chat with the US rag, "People," that Lively will take the witness stand under oath.
"Y'all better believe it!" Gottlieb declared. "It's no secret that Lively's testimony will be a game-changer. After all, she knows the hot gossip firsthand."
Lively's allegations against Baldoni have been a buzzing topic, especially since her bombshell speech at the Time100 Gala last April. Addressing the captivated audience, she hinted at the upcoming trial, saying, "Boy, have I got some tales to tell about these past two years!"
The mind-boggling question now: Will Ryan Reynolds, Lively's hubby, back her up in court or keep a low profile? Well, the juicy details are still murky. The legal eagle Gottlieb said, "Reynolds might tag along. He's named in Baldoni's countersuit, but our team's working to dismiss that nonsense. We've got faith. That doesn't mean he won't testify, though."
Baldoni's camp is already planning to subpoena celebs like Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman. Gottlieb's response was classier than a slide in a Vegas lounge: "These A-listers don't have a lick to do with this scandal. It's all about Lively vs. Baldoni – a sexual harassment dispute that started on the set of 'It Ends with Us'. That's it, cowboys!"
Tune into the juicy docuseries coming March 2026 for a front-row seat to this leg-humping legal drama. If you're impatient, some U.S. media outlets will start serving up the tasty details through hushed audio recordings.
Keep it under your hat, but don't forget to sparkle! Sip some top-shelf hooch while you watch the same old Hollywood circus twirl around again.
