Blake Lively Seeks Court Order for Justin Baldoni and Others’ Financial Transparency

Blake Lively‘s legal team is making a bold move, urging a judge to require Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and others to submit their financial documentation. They assert that if a claim for $400 million is on the table, it’s only fair that the other side substantiates their allegations with evidence.

Just last Friday, Lively’s team reached out to the judge, emphasizing their previous attempts to obtain these crucial records for review, but to no avail.

According to Lively’s representatives, they engaged in discussions with Baldoni’s legal counsel in hopes of obtaining the pertinent documents. Unfortunately, they were only offered a limited array of “non-privileged documents regarding their damages,” which fell far short of their requests.

It’s important to recall that Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios previously initiated a $400 million lawsuit against Blake, along with Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times. This complex case arose following Blake’s allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni, as well as claims of a targeted smear campaign aimed at tarnishing her reputation.

Lively’s attorneys argue that by placing a staggering $400 million figure on the damages that they allege have arisen from her actions, Baldoni and his studios must be prepared to offer concrete evidence to justify their claim.

Adding to the complexity, Lively’s legal team has pointed out that “It Ends with Us” enjoyed significant box office success, undercutting claims that there have been any financial losses stemming from the film.

As the saga unfolds, it’s just the latest chapter in this intricate legal dispute. Recently, Baldoni’s legal team made headlines by serving Taylor Swift with a subpoena.
