Blake Lively Ready to Testify in Dramatic Legal Showdown

In a courtroom battle set to captivate fans and legal enthusiasts alike, Blake Lively is gearing up to take the witness stand against Justin Baldoni. Confirming the news to People, Lively’s attorney, Mike Gottlieb, stated, “The ultimate moment for a plaintiff’s story to be told is at trial.”

As excitement builds over the forthcoming trial scheduled for March 2026 in New York City, Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has suggested making Lively’s testimony a significant event by potentially hosting it at Madison Square Garden, complete with ticket sales benefiting domestic abuse organizations.

Hints of a Turbulent Past

Lively, 37, has been hinting at a whirlwind of revelations from her past two years without going into specifics. At the Time100 Gala earlier this year, she shared heartfelt sentiments about her mother's assault history, suggesting that her own experiences might soon come to light. She is set to testify about her allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni, 41, which include inappropriate comments and behaviors that left her and other women feeling uncomfortable on set.

The Turf War Unfolds

While Lively’s allegations paint a disturbing picture, Baldoni has firmly denied any wrongdoing and countered with a staggering $400 million defamation suit against not only Lively but also her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane. He claims Lively’s actions are retaliatory, aiming to silence her.

Star Power in the Courtroom

The courtroom drama doesn’t stop with Lively and Baldoni. Reports suggest that other high-profile figures, including Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman, may soon be summoned to testify. Their influence could play a pivotal role as Lively’s ‘dragons’ in this escalating feud, with Swift’s text message to Baldoni about feeling “so lucky” to have her protective circle further intensifying the stakes.

As the legal battle looms, all eyes will be on the courtroom, where Hollywood star power and serious allegations collide in a saga that promises to be anything but dull.
