Blake Lively's Stylish Deflection Amid Legal Drama with Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively's Hair-Raising Drama: Actress Brushes Off Legal Woes with Blithe Beauty Video
In a move that's equal parts stunning and strategic, Blake Lively has seemingly shrugged off her latest legal setback by posting a new hair-styling video on Instagram. The 37-year-old Gossip Girl star is currently embroiled in a bitter battle with Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.
Just days after news broke that one of her claims had been tossed out, Lively took to social media to share a behind-the-scenes look at her hair-care routine. The video, which features the actress treating her locks to a battery of products from her own beauty line, teamed with L'Oreal spray and BaByliss hot rollers, has sparked speculation that she's using her platform to distract from the drama unfolding in court.
The clip shows Lively offering a "peek into how I usually style my hair when I'm going out" for her followers. In a caption that's equal parts informative and promotional, she revealed that she's an "old school devotee to hot rollers and mousse like my mama." The post comes as Lively is preparing to face off against Baldoni in court once again.
The legal battle between the two has been ongoing since last year, when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us. In a recent twist, it was revealed that one of her claims had been dismissed by a federal judge due to lack of jurisdiction.
Lively's lawyers have argued that she should only sit for one deposition, limited to seven hours, while Baldoni's team has countered that this would put them at a disadvantage. The two sides have agreed to conduct the deposition on July 31, with Lively choosing the location.
In other developments, it was revealed earlier this week that Lively wants to limit her deposition in the ongoing legal battle against Baldoni to just one session. This came after news broke that she had suffered a setback when one of her claims was tossed out.
The actress has also been accused of being a "toxic diva" by some insiders, who claim that she's using her celebrity status to gain an upper hand in the proceedings. Lively's representatives have denied these allegations, saying that she's simply trying to protect herself and her reputation.
As the drama unfolds, sources close to Swift have revealed that Taylor Swift was present at a meeting convened by Lively at her New York penthouse to discuss script changes for It Ends With Us. The situation reportedly left Swift feeling "exploited" by her friend of ten years, who is also the godmother to Lively's three daughters.
In a statement to The Scholarly Note.com, Lively's representative said: "Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden."
The situation is far from over, with Lively set to take the stand when the trial begins in New York City in March 2026. In the meantime, fans can expect more drama and intrigue as the legal battle continues to unfold.
