Justin Baldoni has reacted to Blake Lively’s request for a stronger protective order in their ongoing legal battle, accusing her of attempting to hide evidence from the public.
Lively’s legal team proposed the protective order, arguing that the high-profile nature of the case and the allegations of $exual harassment require increased privacy to safeguard against threats and witness intimidation. However, Baldoni’s lawyers challenged this move, noting that Lively has already made the alleged details of the harassment public in her amended complaint.

Baldoni’s team pointed out the apparent contradiction in Lively’s actions, as she has been actively pursuing her claims in the media while now seeking to keep certain information private. They also mentioned that Lively had shared confidential documents with The New York Times when she initially filed her lawsuit, which included thousands of pages of original documents such as text messages and emails.
Lively’s amended complaint brings forth new allegations that two female cast members from It Ends With Us are prepared to testify against Baldoni, although their identities were not revealed to protect them from further harm.
In the meantime, Baldoni has countersued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation, asserting that Lively made false accusations against him to salvage her reputation after the film’s press tour.

The case continues to draw significant attention in the entertainment industry, with both sides presenting compelling arguments regarding the confidentiality of evidence.
