Blake Lively’s Attorneys Warn Against ‘Online Content Creators’ That ‘Parrot’ Justin Baldoni’s Line

The conflict between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, co-stars from “It Ends With Us,” centers around concerns such as harassment, consent, fame, and the boundaries of managing one’s public persona. It’s no wonder, then, that this drama has attracted attention from online content producers. Regrettably, it seems the situation may escalate further.

At the start of the lawsuit, Lively has petitioned a judge to maintain secrecy over certain details and prevent them from being shared by legal commentators on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. (Lively is taking action against Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation, while Baldoni and his associates at Wayfarer Studios are countersuing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation.)

A week ago, Lively applied for a court order to safeguard sensitive data such as financial records, medical history, and personal information, which also pertains to other well-known individuals.

Baldoni’s legal team responded on Tuesday, indicating their agreement to a typical confidentiality agreement but not to the stricter level of privacy requested by Lively’s representatives. In the course of their response, they hinted at Lively’s questionable reputation and criticized Reynolds for his inappropriate joke about the matter during the “SNL” 50th anniversary special.

On Tuesday afternoon, Lively’s legal team contended that Baldoni’s reaction underscores the necessity of a protective order.

They pointed out several individuals who often repeat the same messages as the Wayfarer Parties, such as Perez Hilton and Candace Owens. Examples of these content creators include Hilton and Baldoni, both of whom have been represented by attorney Bryan Freedman. It was suggested that this online discourse significantly impacts how the media covers the case, potentially disadvantaging Lively.

Lively’s team argued that the false claims spread by the Opposition, which have been amplified in this artificial echo chamber, offer enough reason to issue a Protective Order. This order would ensure proper protection for the privacy rights of third parties.

Simultaneously, Lively’s lawyers seized the moment to take jabs at Baldoni and his legal team, claiming they showed a blatant disregard and lack of respect towards a woman fighting for fundamental workplace safeguards against sexual harassment. This was their assertion during this particular instance.

At the same time, Lively’s lawyers couldn’t resist taking potshots at Baldoni and his legal team, accusing them of exhibiting indifference and disrespect towards a woman standing up for essential workplace protections against sexual harassment. This was the stance they took during this situation.

In ordinary civil lawsuits, as even the lawyers from Lively pointed out, it’s customary and typical to have a protective order.

The two parties disagree on the appropriate range for the subpoenas issued by Lively to telecommunication companies, and both sides claim that they and their supporters have faced threatening violence due to this legal dispute.
