Blake Lively Seeks Stronger Protective Order Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have requested a stronger protective order amid their ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, citing violent and threatening communications directed at them and their supporters. Lively's legal team highlighted that both she and her family, along with cast members who have supported her, have received sexist and violent threats, including a particularly disturbing message threatening sexual violence against a witness's family. The couple's attorneys aim to keep sensitive information confidential, arguing that the release of such details could lead to further harm and intimidation. Lively's amended complaint accuses Baldoni of creating a hostile work environment and retaliating against her through online harassment. Baldoni's camp has pushed back, asserting that the allegations are baseless and criticizing the lack of substantial evidence. The court is set to address the protective order request and the broader legal issues surrounding the case in upcoming hearings.
