It Ends With Us<\/em><\/a> continues to make headlines a year after its release, with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni locked in an intense legal battle.<\/a> In December 2024, following months of speculation that there had been a cast fallout, Lively took legal action against her co-star and director, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment<\/a> and alleging that he orchestrated a smear campaign against her during the press tour. Baldoni, who has denied all claims against him, then went on to counter the legal filing with a $400 million lawsuit<\/a> of his own, suing Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds<\/a>, and her publicist Leslie Sloane for civil extortion and defamation.<\/p>\n

While the legal battle has taken a number of surprising turns in recent months – with Lively dropping key claims<\/a> and Baldoni’s team drawing Taylor Swift into the proceedings<\/a> – it appears that things are moving forward, as the Gossip Girl<\/em> star is reportedly scheduled for her deposition as soon as next week. As per court documents seen by People<\/em>, Lively is due to face questions from Baldoni’s legal team on Thursday 17th July. According to additional reports from TMZ<\/em>, the deposition will take place in New York City and Ryan Reynolds will not be present. However, a source told the publication that Lively is ‘ready’.<\/p>\n
