In that dismal month of December 2024, when Sabrina Carpenter sipped espresso like it held the secrets of the universe and the digital masses twirled into the demure era, the only truly modern drama worth murmuring about was the chaos brewing between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. Their little It Ends With Us project had transformed from a romance film into a litigious soap opera, regrettably lacking commercial breaks. And, just like any story refusing to end gracefully, it has added a new scene.

 With legal tension mounting again, Justin Baldoni has entered the room for Blake Lively’s deposition, raising eyebrows and stakes alike.

Justin Baldoni has chosen to attend Blake Lively’s deposition in person, according to TMZ. The testimony, taking place at the Manhattan office of Blake Lively’s attorneys, is part of the continuing legal dispute surrounding their work on the film adaptation of It Ends With Us. Only the involved legal teams, a court reporter, and a videographer were present, suggesting the proceedings were held under a degree of privacy.

Legal experts note that when one party chooses to personally observe the deposition of the other, especially in a conflict-laden case, it often signals heightened stakes. Justin Baldoni’s presence could be seen as a strategic move, meant to apply psychological pressure or demonstrate direct investment in the proceedings. In such cases, tempers may flare, caution may slip, and the deposition may yield more revealing or defensive testimony than expected.

Emerging in December 2024, the legal drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has been unfolding for months, so much so that it has even sparked talk of a potential documentary, possibly for Netflix. At this point, the internet may be due for a thorough recap.

Blake Lively filed her initial complaint in December 2024, accusing Justin Baldoni of se**** harassment, retaliation, and boundary violations during the filming of It Ends With Us. In her filings, she alleged repeated unwelcome conduct, while Baldoni countered with a $400 million defamation and extortion suit. He further claimed that Lively had requested he and his family remain in a basement holding area at the August 6, 2024, New York premiere, a detail illustrated by photographs submitted in his complaint.

By June 2025, a judge had tossed Mr. Baldoni’s suit, clearing Ms. Lively’s claims to move forward. Her July 31, 2025, deposition unfolded under strict privacy, only to be upstaged when Mr. Baldoni made a surprise appearance, escalating tension and ensuring no one could forget the personal stakes at play. The only certainty now is that the next revelation will be anything but ordinary.
