The ongoing legal feud between It Ends With Us co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has captivated the public and media alike, with new developments emerging almost daily.
The high-profile case, which began when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024 alleging se*ual harassment and reputational damage, has since spiraled into a complex legal battle involving counterclaims, defamation suits, and intense media scrutiny.
Now, in a surprising twist, a federal judge has granted the public and media access to an upcoming pre-trial hearing, further fueling the frenzy surrounding the case.
The lawsuit first made headlines following an explosive report by The New York Times, which detailed Lively’s allegations against Baldoni. The actor and director quickly responded by filing a defamation lawsuit against the publication, accusing it of biased reporting.
He also countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others, claiming they orchestrated a smear campaign against him. Since then, the case has become a media spectacle, with both parties’ legal teams frequently making public statements, often criticizing the opposing side and adding fuel to the fire.
The public’s fascination with the case has only grown, with social media users and tabloids dissecting every detail.
Allegations and rumors about Lively, Reynolds, and Baldoni have flooded the internet, ranging from career-related gossip to unfounded claims about their personal lives.
The legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively continues to captivate public attention as new developments unfold.
Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging se*ual harassment and reputational damage, which Baldoni countered with defamation claims and a countersuit.
The case has sparked intense media scrutiny, with both sides making public statements and Baldoni even launching a website to present his evidence. A federal judge warned against fueling the media frenz, but recently granted public audio access to an upcoming pre-trial hearing on March 6, 2025—a rare move for federal court.
While this has drawn comparisons to the AmberHeard- Johnnyy Depp trial, the main trial, set for 2026, will likely remain private.
The case has become a cultural flashpoint, raising questions about accountability and power dynamics in Hollywood, with public interest showing no signs of fading.
