Blake Lively Scores Victory Ahead of Deposition in Justin Baldoni Case

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 14 – Justin Baldoni's legal team rejected Blake Lively's request to change deposition venue, citing lack of evidence for paparazzi risk and arguing the offices are only a mile apart.

  • Blake Lively, aged 37, is set to be deposed on July 17, 2025, in New York City amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against director and costar Justin Baldoni.
  • The lawsuit began in December 2024 after Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, retaliation, and smear campaigns during filming their movie 'It Ends With Us'.
  • Lively's legal team requested the deposition be held at their office due to paparazzi concerns, while Baldoni’s lawyers oppose this, claiming she seeks to control proceedings using her celebrity status.
  • Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman suggested live streaming the deposition at Madison Square Garden, which Lively's lawyers criticized as turning the case into a public spectacle.
  • The case is scheduled for trial in March 2026, with attorneys for both parties planning to testify, indicating the legal battle will continue to unfold in court.
