Blake Lively intent on 'protecting her celebrity friends' as lawyer plans vicious counterattack with new allegations against Justin Baldoni
Lawyers for Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively will face off for their first court hearing in their whopping $400M defamation case... days after Baldoni released a treasure trove of docs on his website.
Judge Liman will also be asked to decide whether Freedman – a bulldog showbiz lawyer whose previous clients include Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Julia Roberts – should be allowed to grill Lively under oath on behalf of Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios.
