Blake Lively Seeks to Bar Justin Baldoni From Litigating Case in the Press


Blake Lively's attorneys are seeking to block Bryan Freedman from litigating his case in the press, after he released 10 minutes of footage.

In a letter to a federal judge on Tuesday night, they argued that Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, violated the New York Rules of Professional Conduct by litigating their dispute in the press. In response, Lively’s lawyers accused Freedman of selectively leaking discovery materials, and asked Judge Lewis J. Liman to set a hearing to “address the appropriate conduct of counsel.” Sources in Baldoni’s camp argued that it would be “grossly unfair” to gag Freedman, given that he is simply defending his client from Lively’s defamatory “takedown campaign,” which was launched in the form of a lengthy article in the New York Times.
