Blake Lively's Deposition By Justin Baldoni Delayed Due To 'Smear Campaign' Switch-Up
The drama between and continues, with the postponement of the actress' highly anticipated deposition. The "It Ends With Us" co-stars became enemies after Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, a toxic work environment, and running a smear campaign against her. She was to defend these claims during a July 17 deposition; however, both parties agreed to the postponement. Justin Baldoni has vehemently denied the allegations against him, accusing Blake Lively of defamation and attempting to ruin his reputation. So far, the "Jane the Virgin" star has suffered a significant loss after a judge dismissed his $400 million lawsuit against her. Blake Lively Temporarily Escapes Deposition In Her Legal Drama With Justin Baldoni According to new reports, Lively's deposition has been rescheduled from July 17 to July 31 following a mutual agreement between both parties. Sources claimed the postponement stemmed from social media personality Jed Wallace's removal from the lawsuit. The influencer was taken off the case for jurisdictional reasons but was dismissed without prejudice. This means Lively can refile if she wants to bring Wallace back into the picture. However, she may not go down that route as her spokesperson told TMZ she respected the court's decision. The rep claimed Lively understood he was dismissed for jurisdictional reasons that had "nothing to do with the merits of her allegations about Mr. Wallace's role in the smear campaign." Sources also added that Lively and Baldoni's teams agreed to postpone the deposition to prepare themselves better. The Actor's Attorney Pushed For A Public Spectacle Lively's deposition has been making waves for months, with Baldoni's attorney attempting to have it done publicly. Bryan Freedman told PEOPLE in May, "Since Ms. Lively is open to testifying, let's make it count. Hold the deposition at MSG." Freedman claimed they should sell tickets or stream the deposition live and donate the profits to organizations helping victims of domestic abuse. He echoed similar sentiments in a June interview, stressing that he would ensure Lively spilled the truth. "I'm gonna ask her questions under penalty of perjury, and she's gonna have to provide evidence, and she's gonna have to provide the truth of the stories. We have all of the videotape, all the footage," Freedman explained. He added that they had more evidence to test the consistency of Lively's testimony. Baldoni's Lawyer Accused Lively Of Using Her 'Celebrity Status' Before the postponement of Lively's July 17 deposition, TMZ reported that Baldoni's team had responded to the actress's request to hold the deposition in her attorney's office. They vehemently shut down the demand, noting there was no tangible reason to warrant the venue change. Lively claimed she feared the paparazzi would ambush her outside Baldoni's attorney's office if the deposition were held there. However, the opposing party claimed her worries made no sense since her lawyer's office was about a mile away from theirs. Additionally, they argued that accepting her request placed them at a disadvantage. Baldoni's attorney claimed they had hundreds of pages of notes to consult and may need a private conference room mid-depo. The legal rep stressed that Lively might her successfully used her "celebrity status" to take control of the "It Ends With Us" movie, but her tantrums had no place in court. The 'Gossip Girl' Star Sparked 'Bully' Claims With Her Google Subpoena Days before the deposition was postponed, The Blast reported that several YouTubers had been drawn into the legal drama due to Lively's legal move. She sent a subpoena to Google for information about these media personalities who sided with Baldoni long before she dropped her scathing lawsuit. The actress requested their private details, including their bank information and a log of every session they had since May 1, 2024. She reportedly did so to find evidence of Baldoni's alleged smear campaign against her. She believed he had hired these YouTubers to ruin her image publicly. The list of those facing the heat included well-known figures like Candace Owens and other stars, such as Andy Signore, host of the YouTube channel "Popcorned Planet." Signore slammed Lively as a "bully" for trying to silence him and other content creators, noting he would not be intimidated by her fear tactic. More YouTubers Stand With Justin Baldoni Against Blake Lively Signore vowed to take legal action and fight Lively's subpoena, with fellow YouTuber Lauren Neidigh sharing the same view. She noted she initially thought the subpoena was a scam, but a quick verification told her the situation was as real as it gets. Neidigh and other YouTubers plan to take a legal stand against Lively, claiming they would not be pushed into a corner for using their freedom of speech. The Florida-based content creator added that she was not part of the alleged smear campaign, saying: "That's absolutely not true. There's never been an incentive for me other than I'm interested in her lawsuit." Meanwhile, Signore suspected he received the subpoena because Lively wished to uncover the crew members he had interviewed. He claimed these insiders were terrified of the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, because they were known to abuse their power and could get them blacklisted. Will Blake Lively's upcoming deposition be a win or a loss for Justin Baldoni? Solve the daily Crossword

Blake Lively demands a single session of deposition against Justin Baldoni; Legal plot thickens- Deets Inside
Blake Lively , the controversial actress, has demanded to limit the deposition to a single session for her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni . The federal rules state that the single session should last only for seven hours, and the 'Gossip Girl' alum wants nothing more than that. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's deposition has been postponed... According to the Daily Mail, the deposition, which was originally scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed to July 31, which was a mutual decision by both parties. However, many complex cases require more than a single session, which is against the demand of Blake. The 37-year-old star's demand was revealed when one of her claims against the social media PR expert, Jed Wallace, was tossed out by the judge. The judge said that Lively, who recently hailed the crown of being a toxic diva, can neither amend the existing claim nor can she refile her claims against Wallace in any other jurisdiction. The PR expert's attorney said that if Wallace were to get involved in the case ever again, he would demand another deposition. The fiery exchange of accusations Previously, Lively and Baldoni had another exchange of complaints in the court, where the actress demanded to conduct the deposition on her turf due to the danger of getting ambushed by the paparazzi. Baldoni's lawyers argued that it would be unfair as both the offices are a mile away from each other. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Furthermore, the 'Jane the Virgin' star's legal team accused Blake and her team of using her fame to dictate the terms in the legal matter, whereas the latter's legal army accused the former of creating a public spectacle of this case.

News, Blake sent a request for a protective order, where the deposition must take place at her attorney's office and not at Baldoni's legal firm. Additionally, the 37-year-old also requested that Justin identify everyone who would be attending the deposition. On July 14, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the request, and she is expected to 'make arrangements for opposing counsel to have a dedicated computer and the ability to print and copy documents in the space chosen by Lively.'

In the previous week, the 'Jane the Virgin' star's lawyers hit back at Lively, claiming that the offices are a mile away from each other. '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,' the report said, according to TMZ. Meanwhile, the actress and her team had accused the 'It Ends with Us' actor and director's legal team of making a public spectacle of the case. Her representatives argued that the opponent team appears to have the intent to orchestrate a public stunt by potentially exposing her to paparazzi, media outlets, influencers or more, citing that Baldoni's team should be treating this as a sexual harassment case.

Kathy Bates becomes oldest Emmy nominee for best drama actress
At 77, Kathy Bates is now the oldest Emmy nominee for lead actress in a drama series. Bates stars as septuagenarian lawyer Madeline Matlock in the CBS series 'Matlock,' which concluded its first season in April. Created by Jennie Snyder Urman (best known for 'Jane the Virgin'), the show is a reboot of the classic Andy Griffith-led series of the same name, which ran from 1986 to 1995. Bates' Matlock is a bit older and just as brilliant. 'I know that there was some talk of possibly creating this character as a granddaughter of [the original] Matlock — someone in her 30s or 40s — so I'm incredibly fortunate that, at 76, for heaven's sake, I've been able to play this role,' Bates told The Times last year. Bates, who celebrated a birthday last month, on Tuesday became the oldest nominee in the category's history. The record was previously held by the late Angela Lansbury, who was 70 when she was nominated for 'Murder, She Wrote' in 1996. Lansbury never won an Emmy despite 18 nominations. Bates' nomination doesn't come as a surprise. She was up for the same category at this year's Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. She took home the trophy at the Critics Choice Awards in February. Bates has now been nominated for 15 Emmy Awards, two of which she's won: guest actress in a comedy series for 'Two and a Half Men' (2012) and supporting actress in a limited series for 'American Horror Story: Coven' (2014). In 1991, she won the lead actress Oscar for her chilling role in the horror movie 'Misery,' based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. 'Matlock' has been renewed for a sophomore season and is expected to return in the fall.
