Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively Could Go to Trial in March 2026


Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively could get a March 2026 trial in federal court in New York.

She sued him on Dec. 31 for sexual harassment and retaliation; he fired back two weeks later, accusing her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and extortion. At that hearing, Lively’s attorneys are expected to ask for an order constraining Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, from waging a PR war over the case. Freedman has shot back that he has every right to defend his client, and argued that Lively’s attorneys worked with the New York Times to publicize her claims.
