Blake Lively Expected to Testify in 2026 Sexual Harassment Trial Against Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively is expected to testify in her upcoming trial against co-star Justin Baldoni, which centers on her sexual harassment claims during the filming of "It Ends With Us." Lively's attorney, Mike Gottlieb, confirmed she will take the stand and emphasized that the case is about her harassment allegations, not about unrelated matters involving celebrity friends such as Taylor Swift or Hugh Jackman. Although Swift and Jackman have been mentioned in Baldoni's countersuit and rumored to be subpoenaed, Gottlieb argued their involvement lacks relevance and suggested such attempts might be for publicity. Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband and a defendant in Baldoni's countersuit, may or may not testify, with Lively's legal team seeking to dismiss those claims. Baldoni's attorney dismissed Gottlieb's comments as attempts to deflect, stating that evidence supporting their case will be presented. The trial is slated for March 2026, and the case has attracted significant media attention due to the high-profile individuals involved.
