Blake Lively has responded to the latest updates in her legal battle with her former co-star, Justin Baldoni. In a statement posted on Instagram on April 3rd, Lively expressed her gratitude that the court will allow her to present her case to a jury next month, giving her the chance to fully share her side of the story. She emphasized that this isn’t just for her, but also for others who may not have the means to speak up, including people she knows and loves, and many more she doesn’t. Lively explained that she initially didn’t want to file a lawsuit, but felt compelled to due to the ongoing retaliation she experienced after requesting a safe and respectful work environment for herself and her colleagues. She hopes the court’s decision encourages others to speak out, even when it’s difficult.
Don’t get caught up in the sensationalized media coverage. Lively believes the lawsuit is being framed as a ‘celebrity drama’ intentionally, to divert attention from the real issues and prevent people from relating to her experience. She emphasizes that online harassment can cause genuine emotional and physical harm. The lawsuit claims that Baldoni and his team deliberately launched a negative campaign against her after she reported sexual harassment to Sony Pictures.
During the trial, Lively responded to a claim by Baldoni that she had jokingly compared herself to Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, referring to her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and friend Taylor Swift as her ‘dragons.’ She concluded her statement by simply using a dragon emoji.
