Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s high-profile legal battle took a new turn with their location for the deposition. Reports revealed that Lively scored a significant win in the storm, with the judge allowing her deposition from the comfort of her own attorney’s office. The Manhattan judge cited safety and “media chaos” as grounds for the accommodation.
Blake Lively’s deposition request is not just about security, ‘source’ claims
The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has intensified. An exclusive report by Rob Shuter on Substack revealed that a judge recently allowed Lively’s deposition at her attorney’s office. The “Gossip Girl” actor’s camp believed it was more than a Hollywood privilege, calling it a matter of security and basic decency.
However, Baldoni’s team expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision. A legal source told Shuter, “This isn’t just security,” adding, “It’s stardom working overtime.” They also claimed that “Normal plaintiffs don’t get this treatment,” insisting that Lively used her high-profile status for this win.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s deposition is scheduled for Thursday, with both sides blatantly accusing each other. While Baldoni’s lawyers have accused Lively’s team of leveraging her superstar status, Lively’s camp argued that Baldoni’s team was more interested in spectacle than substance.
A source alleged Baldoni to be “more focused on drama than justice.” Meanwhile, his camp insisted they were ready to present “damning” testimony against the “Another Simple Favor” actor. Lively’s representatives are pushing back on the criticisms, but the situation has revealed fresh scrutiny over her celebrity status.
While netizens raise the broader question of fairness in the justice system, a spokesperson for Lively stated, “This is serious,” adding, “Blake is prepared.” Her legal battle with Justin Baldoni began last year and has taken a new twist. This time, the question of whether justice looks different for celebrities remains at the forefront of this high-profile lawsuit.
