Blake Lively Roasted Again: Comedian Parodies Deposition Drama!
Blake Lively Serves Up Some Sass in Hilarious Deposition Skit, Roasting Her Accuser Justin Baldoni Amid Woke Backlash
Comedian Michael Pavano is making waves with his wicked wit and spot-on impersonations of Blake Lively and her Gossip Girl alum peers. The Los Angeles-based comedian recently uploaded a side-splitting deposition skit to his Instagram and TikTok pages, which have collectively racked up nearly 1.2 million followers.
Pavano's parody, titled "The Blake Lively Deposition," sees him donning a blonde wig and multiple beanies – a cheeky nod to Blake's viral outfits in the movie It Ends With Us. The actress had previously revealed that some of her character's iconic ensembles were actually borrowed from her real-life wardrobe.
In the skit, Pavano's version of Blake is grilled by an actor playing Justin Baldoni, with whom she's embroiled in a contentious lawsuit. The comedian expertly milks the situation for comedic gold, delivering zingers like: "I brought eight lawyers because they keep quitting, and I need rotation. Besides, walking into a room with eight lawyers behind you looks pretty bada** doesn't it, Justin?"
The deposition skit kicks off with Blake's character being questioned about her entourage of eight lawyers. Pavano quips, "That's because they keep quitting... and I need rotation." The camera then cuts to another actor playing Justin, who responds with a deadpan: "Please stop talking to me."
As the skit continues, Pavano's version of Blake becomes increasingly flustered, attempting to adjust the lighting and microphone settings. When asked to define her role in It Ends With Us, she quips, "Well, the contract said actor – lead actor – but I knew I'd be the heart and soul of the piece... So, I made sure on purpose I didn't reveal that I would be directing, editing, overseeing every aspect of the project. I just did it."
The skit takes a hilarious turn when Pavano's version of Justin calmly explains, "When Blake first signed on to the movie, she told me she didn't need control... Two days later, she took over craft services and renamed all the snacks. Why? Couldn't tell you." He later adds that Blake sent him an alternate ending to the film for three months before they began arguing about his directing.
The skit also addresses other contentious issues between the two stars, including Justin's name being removed from the It Ends With Us poster and claims that Blake requested he and his family stay in the basement during the NYC premiere of the film. Pavano's version of Blake nonchalantly replies, "Well, we were basically over capacity... Something had to give. It was either Justin's family or the floral archway."
The drama doesn't stop there
Blake Lively has been in a heated battle with her co-star and director of It Ends With Us, Justin Baldoni, since December 2024. The actress accused him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her. However, documents filed by Justin's team claim that the texts between his publicists, which Blake relied on as evidence, were edited to remove context and were incomplete.
In a shocking turn of events, a New York judge tossed almost all of Justin's $400 million countersuit against Blake and her husband Ryan last month. The couple claimed total "vindication" in their victory. However, the drama is far from over – with further depositions scheduled before the case comes to trial in March next year.
Blake's lawyers have also subpoenaed 107 content creators who have circulated negative stories about her, alleging that they were part of a coordinated campaign. The creators claim that the content arose organically due to Lively's behavior on the press tour for It Ends With Us and previous publicity tours, which had given her a reputation for "mean girl" behavior.
Michael Pavano's latest roast
This isn't the first time Pavano has roasted Blake – or her peers. He also parodied Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign last week in a video shared to his social media pages. The comedian donned denim and mimicked her sultry voiceover from the ads, which have since garnered backlash from woke critics.
With his wicked wit and spot-on impersonations, Michael Pavano is making waves in the comedy world. His parody of Blake Lively's deposition has left fans and critics alike in stitches – but it remains to be seen how Blake will react to being roasted by a comedian who's clearly got her number.
