Justin Baldoni Loses “Highly Personal & Intimate Information” Court Battle With Blake Lively; Risk Of Disclosure Is Great,” Judge Warns Both Sides


As we've seen before, both Team Blake & Team Baldoni are claiming victory after a federal judge rules on a protective order for evidence before the 2026 trial

“The parties have levelled accusations of theft of trade secrets and the disclosure of confidential sensitive information against one another,” a pragmatic Judge Lewis J Liman noted today with some degree of understatement almost a year before the trial between the It Ends With Us stars starts on May 29, 2026. “The Court has narrowed the provision to stated that information may be marked AEO only if its disclosure is “ highly likely to cause a significant business, commercial, financial, or privacy injury,” Judge Liman noted Thursday. “Today, the Court rejected the Wayfarer Parties’ objections and entered the protections needed to ensure the free flow of discovery material without any risk of witness intimidation or harm to any individual’s security,” a spokesperson for Lively told Deadline after Judge Liman’s order hit the federal docket.
