Blake Lively Wants Her and Ryan Reynolds’ Finances To Be Kept Secret From Trial

The judge cut 10 of 13 claims, leaving three to be tried as Lively seeks about $300 million in damages.

  • Judge Lewis Liman dismissed 10 of 13 claims in Blake Lively's $300 million lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, leaving three claims to proceed to trial. Jury selection begins May 18 in New York City.
  • Lively accused Baldoni of harassment and creating an unsafe work environment on set of It Ends with Us. Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, alongside publicist Melissa Nathan and TAG, allegedly orchestrated a coordinated smear campaign against her.
  • Attorneys filed pretrial motions April 10 seeking to exclude evidence regarding Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Lively's net worth, and the character Nicepool from trial. Defense lawyers argue past client work is irrelevant to the smear campaign allegations.
  • An unnamed Disney Studios executive claimed the lawsuit has 'ruined' Lively's standing in Hollywood. Insiders stated the industry is not 'shedding tears' over her reputational challenges, though she remains defiant.
  • Ryan Reynolds will testify about Lively's time on set and the alleged smear campaign when proceedings begin May 18. Taylor Swift will be mentioned during trial but is not expected to provide testimony.
