Overview
- Lively asked the court Monday to keep any mention of her or Ryan Reynolds’ net worth out of the trial, arguing jurors could be biased by their wealth.
- Her filing also seeks to block references to Reynolds’ parody Nicepool character from Deadpool & Wolverine, which a judge has already deemed irrelevant.
- Lively listed a 2017 video in which Baldoni asks if he “harassed” Britney Spears, a clip she wants jurors to see to argue a pattern even though her harassment claims were dismissed.
- Proposed witness lists include Lively and Reynolds along with co‑stars and industry PR figures, and Baldoni’s filings indicate he will testify.
- The case goes to trial May 18 on narrowed claims of retaliation, breach of contract, and aiding and abetting retaliation after Judge Lewis J. Liman tossed most counts, while some entertainment outlets report unverified chatter about Reynolds’ private misgivings.
