Every where you look on tiktok and social media they’re hashing through the guts of the Justin Baldini/Blake Lively mess.
The two are at war over who made who uncomfortable on the set of It Ends With Us. A now Ironic title.
The issue is that both parties seem to be fighting it out in the press, rather than a court room.
At the Monday, Feb. 3 pretrial conference at United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Liman addressed the issue. He threatened to expedite the trial if the parties do not rein in the public relations war outside the courtroom. The judge also instructed both parties to comply with the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, which prohibit attorneys from making comments that could have a “substantial likelihood” of biasing a jury.
Freedman said his “clients are devastated financially and emotionally.” The It Ends With Us actors are preparing to head to trial in March 2026.
Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson, attorneys for Lively, said in a statement, “We are pleased with the result of today’s hearing and eager to move forward immediately with discovery in this case.”
