Blake Lively and her lawyers are trying to put an end to Justin Baldoni's run through the headlines with a new gag order.

The power couple allege that the no-holds-barred lawyer is violating judicial rules by using the media to exonerate his client, whom Lively is suing in federal court. Baldoni has filed a separate suit against both the actress and Reynolds.

In December 2024, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and organising a “smear campaign” against her in the months that followed the filming of the drama It Ends With Us. Baldoni has denied all of Lively’s allegations and has since sued the New York Times for libel over their reporting of Lively’s claims.
