Blake Lively's Family Fun Amid Legal Drama: A Day at Universal Studios

Blake Lively, 38, distracted herself from the Justin Baldoni legal battle with some family quality time as she was joined by her lookalike niece Kate Johnson, 20, at Universal Studios Florida

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Epic Feud Continues: New Allegations of Harassment Surface

The drama-filled saga between Blake Lively, 38, and her former co-star Justin Baldoni, 41, just got even juicier! While Blake was busy having a blast with her lookalike niece Kate Johnson at Universal Studios Florida, the court battle between them continues to heat up.

Blake's Family Fun Day

Blake took to her Instagram early Monday morning to share a gallery of snaps from their fun trip to the theme park in Orlando

To take her mind off the drama, Blake took some quality time with her beautiful niece Kate, 20. The two were spotted posing for photos together at Universal Studios, and it's clear they're more than just aunt and niece - they're BFFs! Kate's mom is Blake's older sister Robin Lively, 53, while her dad is Bart Johnson, 54.

Blake took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from their fun day out, captioning the post: "I worked in Orlando this week, and like any responsible adult, decided to stay to play. Any excuse to sneak my babies with me." The actress gushed about the theme park's magic, saying it was "something special" and that they felt like they were "living inside the movies."

But let's get back to the drama...

Justin Baldoni's Team Gets a New Member

In a shocking move, Justin has hired high-profile lawyer Alexandra Shapiro to join his team amid their ongoing court battle. Shapiro is no stranger to big cases - she's worked with clients like Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried in the past.

More Allegations Surface

Blake also shared a few selfies including one of the costume of Cynthia Erivo's iconic character Elphaba from Wicked

But wait, there's more! A new individual has come forward with claims of harassment against Justin, alleging they endured "repeated, negative interactions" with him on set. The accuser claimed they even requested that Justin not be involved in marketing or public relations efforts due to his behavior.

The court documents obtained by thescholarlynote.com reveal the accuser is likely to testify against Justin in Blake's trial. This new development comes as no surprise, given the intense scrutiny both parties have been under since the allegations first surfaced.

Blake Fights Back

The Universal Studios outing was not the first time Blake has been seen in public with her niece as back in June the two closely resembled one another with nearly identical hairstyles at the CHANEL Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in New York

In a 30-page filing in federal court, Blake's lawyers argue that Wayfarer Studios' defamation lawsuit against her was "baseless from the start." They claim the company attempted to damage her credibility and conceal their own unlawful acts by flooding the public docket with redacted exhibits and character attacks.

$100 Million Threat?

In a shocking revelation, court documents obtained by thescholarlynote.com reveal that Wayfarer co-founder Steve Sarowitz allegedly vowed to spend $100 million to ruin Blake's life. He reportedly declared: "I will protect the studio like Israel protected itself from Hamas... There will be two dead bodies when I'm done. Minimum."

Judge Dismisses Baldoni's Lawsuit

In a major blow to Justin's team, a judge recently dismissed his defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and Blake Lively. The judge ruled that all of Lively's allegations were made within privileged court papers.

But don't expect this drama to die down anytime soon...

Kate was previously seen on the April 27 red carpet for the premiere of Blake's comeback comedy Another Simple Favor in in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center

Blake's Motion for Attorney Fees

Blake is seeking attorney's fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Wayfarer Studios and its executives. In the motion, her lawyers argue that the company's conduct fits squarely into what California Civil Code Section 47.1 was designed to prevent - retaliatory lawsuits against those who come forward with harassment complaints.

The game is far from over in this epic feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy drama!
