Justin Baldoni Gets Praise From James Brolin for Books on ‘Being a Man’
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, 37, is set to be deposed on July 17 in New York City as part of her December 2024 lawsuit alleging that Justin Baldoni, 41, engaged in sexual misconduct during the filming of 'It Ends With Us.'
- The legal conflict arose after Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign, while Baldoni denied the claims and countersued for defamation and extortion.
- Lively asked for her deposition to be held at her attorney’s office due to concerns about paparazzi, while Baldoni’s team insisted it be conducted at their own office to allow access to extensive notes and conference facilities, accusing her of trying to leverage her celebrity status to influence the venue.
- A New York judge granted Lively’s motion for a protective order on July 14 allowing her to choose the deposition location and requiring her to provide Baldoni’s team with printing and copying facilities.
- The deposition precedes a trial set for March 2026 in New York City where both parties and their attorneys are expected to testify, indicating ongoing legal disputes with significant reputational stakes.
