Stop The Discovery! New York Times Granted Win In Blake Lively Vs. Justin Baldoni Clash As Dismissal Pondered By Judge


The Gray Lady isn't entirely out of the battle between Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni yet, but it won't have to open its files now a judge says

In a swipe to Baldoni’s side, Judge Lewis J. Liman today granted the Gray Lady’s request for stay of discovery as he weighs the NYT’s motion to be dismissed from the $400 million and more case that was birthed out of Lively’s December 20 sexual harassment and retaliation complaint with California’s Civil Rights department. Baldoni’s side believed the paper did belong in the case and unsuccessfully argued for Judge Liman to rebuff the request for stay of discovery and the dismissal motion. There are no significant sessions scheduled in the case right now, but Lively is expected in Austin for SXSW and the debut of sequel Another Simple Favor with co-star Anna Kendrick and director Paul Feig on March 7.
