Justin Baldoni's legal team hit back at Blake Lively over deposition location request
The response ended: 'Although Lively's foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status may have enabled her to seize control of the film, which is the crux of this dispute, her counsel's tantrum has no place in this court. Lively is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure like every litigant...' Blake's request came after a lawyer for Baldoni – whose counterclaims against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for extortion and defamation were dismissed last month – previously said he wanted the deposition to be taken in public for people to see. Attorney Bryan Freedman told People magazine in May: 'Hold the deposition at MSG, sell tickets or stream it, and donate every dollar to organisations helping victims of domestic abuse.' Following the court filing, Lively's representatives hit out at the 41-year-old actor's team. They told People magazine: 'Ms Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. 'Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden. 'This is a serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation and it deserves to be treated as such.' The new filing revealed Lively, 37, asked the judge to block Baldoni and his team from selecting where the deposition takes place. Her lawyers wrote: '[Baldoni's team have] not denied that their intent is to manufacture a harassing publicity stunt by requiring Ms Lively to parade through paparazzi, or by inviting unknown attendees to the deposition, including members of the media or social media influencers, or any other number of abusive tactics. 'Since virtually the inception of this litigation, Defendants have used even the prospect of Ms Lively's deposition to generate press interest. 'The high-profile nature of this litigation, and the nature of Ms Lively's retaliation claims, demonstrates a substantial risk of the deposition turning into a publicity event and potentially attracting interested individuals who could pose security risks.' The Another Simple Favour star's lawyers insisted the filing was a 'reasonable request to prevent the risk of annoyance, harassment, and verbal or physical threats,' and alleged Baldoni's team 'appear to seek another public relations moment, or to create conditions for intimidation or harassment'. A trial is set for March 2026.

Blake Lively wants to wash consumers hair for them
Blake Lively wants to wash other people's hair. The 'Another Simple Favour' actress launched her haircare brand Blake Brown last year and she'd love to be able to get hands-on with her consumers in order to teach them how to use the products properly. She told People magazine: "People don't use hair masks. They know about them, but they really treat it like a specialty, highly concentrated thing. They think, 'Oh, well it's more concentrated, so if I'm going to use a big handful of conditioner, I'll use a dime size amount of a mask.' " I want to wash everyone's head for them and say, 'No, use as much mask as you would conditioner.'.. "I wish I could be in people's showers and in their homes because I like that we have products that aren't everything that you see on the shelf because why create a company just to create another company? If they exist out there and someone else is doing well, I have no reason to do it." The 37-year-old actress - who has four children with husband Ryan Reynolds - uses "absurd" amounts of product on her own hair but understands why people are apprehensive about trying something they're not entirely sure how to use properly. She said: "I'm somebody who uses a lot of product, so I like products that are user-friendly that you can build and you can get your hands on. "And I think that getting people comfortable with being able to really use a higher quantity of product, because I think that when it's something that people aren't as familiar with, people don't use mousse as much anymore. They don't use masks as much anymore... "I think people who love mousse they're like, 'Oh my gosh, this is so exciting.' "And then people who don't know mousse as well, there's definitely, there's a bridge in educating people on how to use it. I think people, when they think about mousse, they think about scrunching curls or they think that it can be crunchy. "But for me, how I get volume is mousse. I mean, it's everything to me. And I use so much mousse, I use absurd amounts. It quadruples my hair and then some."
