Justin Baldoni's lawyer Kevin Fritz alleged in a letter that Blake Lively doesn't want Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman to take her deposition in court

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s dispute stemming from their film “It Ends With Us” has included lawsuits and an all-out public loathing spree, with a trial now set to begin in March 2026.

Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds told a federal judge Thursday that they will seek to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit. Attorneys for the two sides are due in court Monday for the first hearing on the megafeud between the two “It Ends With Us” co-stars.
