Lively Expands Evidence for Baldoni Trial, Cites 2017 Britney Spears Clip

The move signals a sharper strategy ahead of the May 18 federal trial.

Overview

  • Blake Lively filed an expanded evidence list that reportedly includes a 2017 Fuse TV clip where Justin Baldoni asked if he had just sexually harassed Britney Spears, seeking to show a pattern of behavior.
  • She also asked the court to bar any mention of her or husband Ryan Reynolds’ wealth from the jury, according to TMZ.
  • Court-ordered mediation in early April ended without a settlement, keeping the case on track for trial.
  • The federal trial is scheduled for May 18 in Manhattan, with only three claims proceeding: breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding retaliation after earlier dismissals of ten claims, including sexual harassment.
  • Both sides continue to shape public opinion, with Lively’s team saying she aims to expose online retaliation and Baldoni’s team pointing to the court’s earlier dismissal of harassment allegations.
