Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in Legal Battle Over Private Information with Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are currently embroiled in a public legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, centered around the protection of private information including medical data, security measures, and text messages with celebrity friends. During a hearing at the New York Federal Court on March 6th, the couple's lawyers requested that sensitive data be accessible only to lawyers, not directly to Baldoni. Their lawyer emphasized the risk of irreparable damage if marginal conversations with high-profile individuals irrelevant to the case fall into the wrong hands. The conflict stems from mutual defamation claims, now totaling around €375 million. Lively accuses Baldoni of a smear campaign, while Baldoni claims Lively attempted to damage his reputation. The dispute escalated from Lively's initial claim of sexual harassment during filming. Despite the conflict, Lively and Reynolds have continued to make public appearances. The case has garnered significant attention due to its connections to Hollywood's elite, potentially involving figures like Taylor Swift.
