Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni of Withholding Phone Records Amid Legal Battle

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are embroiled in a contentious legal battle, with Lively's team accusing Baldoni of being 'afraid to produce receipts' related to their ongoing lawsuit. The dispute began in December 2024 when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and claims of a smear campaign against her, leading Baldoni to file a $400 million countersuit alleging civil extortion and defamation. As part of the legal proceedings, Lively's team has subpoenaed Baldoni for extensive phone and text records, which Baldoni's lawyer has described as 'flagrantly overbroad' and a violation of privacy. Lively's representatives argue that Baldoni's refusal to comply with the subpoenas raises questions about his innocence in the matter. They claim that Baldoni's team has admitted to creating a strategy to discredit Lively publicly, further complicating the case. The trial is set to begin on March 9, 2026.
