Blake Lively to Testify in Baldoni Harassment Trial

Blake Lively will testify under oath in March 2026 in a high-profile trial against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni, whom she accuses of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni denies all allegations and has filed a $400 million defamation countersuit naming both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni’s lawyer controversially suggested livestreaming Lively’s testimony at Madison Square Garden for charity, a move dismissed by Lively’s team as a publicity stunt. The case has also drawn attention to Baldoni's claim that Reynolds’ 'Deadpool' character Nicepool was modeled after him as part of an alleged smear campaign. Other witnesses to the alleged misconduct are also expected to testify. The dispute remains highly publicized, with both parties making escalating public statements as discovery proceeds.
