Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively feud doesn't seem to end soon

The ongoing ugly feud between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon. 

The two stars, known for their roles in popular films and TV shows, have been at odds for quite a while now and the drama continues to unfold each day.

Baldoni and Lively are now gearing up for highly anticipated courtroom showdown, with their official trial date.

The courtroom date is reportedly scheduled on March 9, 2026. After a few months of heated conflict and uncertainty, the date is finally set and people are eagerly waiting for that day.

Baldoni earlier took legal action against his It Ends with Us co-star Lively. He claimed that she tried to extort him and damage his reputation after she accused him of sexual harassment.

The judge in charge of the case, Lewis J. Liman, confirmed two key dates of the ongoing legal battle between the two lead actors. However, the court will look deep into the case and will decide something.

Baldoni’s case, in which he’s asking for $400 million in damages, claimed that Blake led smear campaign against him.

Reportedly, the trial date could be pushed back more if needed or it might just be canceled if both sides agree to settle outside of court.

E! News reported that a pre-trial hearing will take place on February 3 and during this hearing, Blake’s legal team, led by Michael Gottlieb, will discuss her and her husband Ryan Reynolds’ request for a gag order against the director’s lawyer Bryan Freedman.

According to People Magazine, Baldoni’s lawyer urged the judge to reject the gag order.

They wrote: "[Lively's] desire to force the Wayfarer Parties to defend themselves privately against allegations made publicly is not a proper basis for a gag order."

"It is tactical gamesmanship, and it is outrageous."
