Blake Lively Pushes for Stricter Privacy Measures in Legal Battle with Justin Baldoni

Lively seeks enhanced confidentiality protections to prevent sensitive information from leaking during a high-profile lawsuit involving harassment and defamation claims.

Blake Lively's legal team has requested an 'Attorney's Eyes Only' confidentiality order to protect sensitive information, including private texts with celebrities and business details, from being leaked.
The lawsuit stems from Lively's accusations of sexual harassment and a media smear campaign by Baldoni, who has countersued for defamation and extortion.
Baldoni's legal team opposes the stricter confidentiality measures, arguing that existing protective orders are sufficient and that the proposal unfairly favors high-profile individuals.
Judge Lewis Liman has not yet ruled on the request but acknowledged that some sensitive information relevant to the case may inevitably become public.
A trial date for the case, which includes claims and countersuits totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, has been set for March 2026.
