Among the never-ending conflict and competing claims against her” It Ends With Us” producer and co-star, Justin Baldoni, is apparently struggling Blake Lively.
The” A Simple Favor” star, 37, “is very stressed out, disturbed, and only wants all of this to be done,” according to an outsider who spoke to Us Weekly.
In a complaint filed simply before Christmas, Beautiful accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual abuse and a , hostile smear campaign, and a . Much of the information in Lively’s lawsuit was laid out in a , New York Times , part prior to the filing. Baldoni filed a lawsuit against the , news on December 31 for$ 250 million because Lively was suing him.
The” Jane the Virgin” alum filed a$ 400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Leslie Sloane, a publicist, for alleged defamation and civil extortion last month.
Reynolds, 48, “has been consoling” his other half, but he is “more convinced that the truth will prevail in judge,” according to the source.
In a photo of Beautiful grinning as he stood behind and flashed a tight-lipped teeth, the” Deadpool” sun presented the couple to their daughter on Monday.
The second hearing in the case, which is scheduled to start trial on March 9, 2026, was also shared with the image.
Lawyers from both camps showed up in Manhattan Federal Court on Monday, where Judge Lewis Liman and Liman refused to put a gag order on Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman as Lively’s legal team suggested it may demand one. Liman also cautioned both flanks against furthering their efforts to fight each other in the court of public opinion.
Last year, Beautiful, Reynolds, and Sloane admitted to filing a lawsuit against Baldoni.
Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively  was updated on Friday to contain new , alleged proof that his team claims shows Beautiful and The , Times , were working together on the so-called “hit piece” as first as , Oct. 31.
Additionally, over the weekend, Baldoni’s part released a , a long-promised website with the amended complaint and a 168-page “timeline of appropriate events,” which Lively’s doctors asked Liman to sue. He did not immediately have power in any way.
