Lively against Baldoni: Richter warns of public disputes
At first, actress LIVELY made serious allegations against her co -star Baldoni – then he also complained. At a hearing before the start of the trial, a judge now warns for reluctance on both sides.
During a first hearing in the legal dispute between Blake Lively (37) and Justin Baldoni (41), a New York judge warned her lawyer not to keep the case further in the press. Public statements would have a “significant probability” to influence the jury and thus the procedure, said district judge Lewis J. Liman US media.
To prevent this, he could also pre -put the process of starting at the process of starting in March 2026. Neither LIVELY nor Baldoni were present in Manhattan on Monday (local time) in Manhattan, but their lawyers and numerous journalists were present.
Allegations: sexual harassment and defamation
LIVELY (“Gossip Girl”) had shown her co-star Baldoni in December because of sexual harassment when filming the film “only once” and accused him and producer Jamey Heath in a lawsuit to destroy her reputation. Baldoni (“Jane the Virgin”), who also directed the film, reacted with a lawsuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds (48).
Lawyers describe drastic consequences
As the broadcaster CNN reported, the lawyers of the actress and the actor at the hearing on Monday described the negative consequences of the legal dispute on their clients. Baldoni was “financially and emotionally destroyed”, his lawyer Bryan Freedman said. Michael Gottlieb, who represents Lively in court, spoke of a “devastating retaliation campaign” against the actress.
