Blake Lively Deposition Postponed Amid Legal Disputes

Blake Lively's deposition in her lawsuit against co-star Justin Baldoni has been postponed to July 31, after both parties agreed to the delay following the dismissal of her related suit against publicist Jed Wallace on jurisdictional grounds. Judge Lewis Liman emphasized that the participants' celebrity status should not affect the legal proceedings and urged focus on the legal issues. Lively's suit against Wallace, which alleged his involvement in a smear campaign, was dismissed without prejudice, allowing her to refile in another jurisdiction. The postponement allows both sides to review potential amendments to the complaint, as the dismissal could influence the deposition's scope. The case continues to draw significant public and media scrutiny, with some expressing frustration over repeated delays and high-profile demands. Lively's legal team maintains that the dismissal was procedural and did not address the substance of her allegations.
