Justin Baldoni has filed fresh allegations against Blake Lively, following her request to conduct her deposition at her attorney's office rather than his, citing concerns over a potential paparazzi ambush. In a sharp rejoinder submitted on Friday, July 11th, the 40-year-old actor contested her assertions, contending that there exists no concrete evidence to substantiate such a fear, emphasizing that the distance separating the two legal premises barely spans a mile.
The legal eagles representing Baldoni, renowned for his role in 'Jane the Virgin', further posited that accommodating Lively's preference could pose undue hindrance, particularly when confidential exchanges might be necessary. "While Lively's dramatic gestures and leveraging of her celebrity status may have allowed her to seize the narrative in the film at the heart of this legal battle, her counsel's meltdown finds no rightful place in this judicial proceeding," Baldoni's lawyer scathingly remarked, as quoted by TMZ.
The deposition, set to unfold in New York City on July 17th, will witness the actress being sworn in. This development unfolds after Lively triumphantly marked a legal milestone with the court's dismissal of Baldoni's defamation lawsuit seeking a staggering $400 million in damages.
The ongoing saga continues to pit the former 'Gossip Girl' star against Baldoni, amidst escalating legal maneuverings that reflect both the intensity and intricacies of their dispute.
