Blake Lively Fights to Keep Weight Comments as Evidence in Justin Baldoni Trial
Blake Lively is fighting Justin Baldoni's attempt to block alleged comments about her weight from being shown to a jury at their upcoming trial. Court documents show Lively wants the jury to hear this evidence despite Baldoni's objections.
Blake Lively is pushing back against her "It Ends With Us" co-star and director Justin Baldoni's effort to keep certain evidence away from their trial jury. Baldoni wants to ban alleged comments about Lively's weight from being presented as evidence.
The dispute stems from their work together on the 2024 movie "It Ends With Us." Lively has made various claims against Baldoni, though a judge has already dismissed some of her allegations.
Judge Lewis Liman previously threw out some of Lively's sexual harassment and fat-shaming claims. The judge ruled that some of the alleged conduct was "directed to Lively's character rather than to Lively herself." He noted that "creative artists must have some amount of space to experiment within the bounds of an agreed script without fear of being held liable."
Lively responded to the judge's recent ruling, saying "I'm grateful for the Court's ruling which allows the heart of my case to be presented." She appears determined to continue with the remaining parts of her legal case.
The legal battle has created significant public attention around the movie and its stars. Both actors have been defending their positions as the case moves forward.
This case could set important rules about what counts as workplace harassment in Hollywood. The outcome may influence how actors and directors can interact on movie sets without facing lawsuits.
The trial will proceed with the remaining claims. The judge will decide which evidence the jury can hear.
