The Battle Over Protective Orders: Why Lively Wants to Keep Evidence Private
In the latest development in the It Ends With Us legal war, Blake Lively has requested a stricter protective order, claiming she has received “violent” and “threatening” messages online. Her legal team argues that certain information in the case should remain private, citing concerns over personally sensitive material.

- Mariah Carey broke her silence, stating that “for this reason,” the song All I Want for Christmas Is You has yet to meet the expectations she set for it.
However, Justin Baldoni’s legal team has fiercely opposed this move. In a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman, Baldoni’s lawyers criticized Lively’s legal strategy, pointing out that she has actively publicized her claims in the media. They argue that her sudden insistence on secrecy contradicts her previous public statements and is an attempt to control the narrative.
Furthermore, Baldoni’s team believes that Lively’s request is not about personal safety but rather about shielding damaging evidence from public scrutiny. They have agreed to a standard protective order but rejected Lively’s additional proposed protective measures.

Accusations Fly: Is Blake Lively Trying to Rebuild Her Image?
One of the most explosive allegations in this case is that Blake Lively is using the lawsuit to repair her public image. According to Baldoni’s legal team, Lively and her representatives have been making “bold statements” about Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios in an effort to paint themselves as victims.

Lively’s attorneys have responded by accusing Baldoni’s team of attempting to discredit her claims of workplace harassment. In their letter to the judge, Lively’s legal team argued that Baldoni’s opposition to the protective order shows “callous disregard” for a woman advocating for basic workplace protections.
Adding fuel to the fire, Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, recently made a joke about the lawsuit during SNL’s 50th-anniversary special, which Baldoni’s team referenced as evidence that Lively is not as concerned about privacy as she claims.

The Growing Threats: Both Sides Face Online Attacks
While Lively has claimed she and her supporters have received violent and sexist threats, Baldoni’s team has also revealed that he has been subjected to death threats and even had unwelcome visitors at his home. Both parties have condemned the escalating rhetoric and online harassment, emphasizing that no one should be subjected to such treatment.
Despite these concerns, the court battle continues to intensify, with both sides unwilling to back down. Lively’s camp maintains that her request for additional legal protections is necessary, while Baldoni’s team insists that transparency is crucial to ensuring a fair trial.
As Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continue their fierce courtroom battle, the stakes are getting higher. With Lively’s lawyer admitting that she is pursuing this case despite knowing she will lose, many are questioning her true motivations. Is this about justice, public image, or something else entirely?
