Blake Lively has moved to depose a key player who allegedly played a part in the smear campaign she says was initiated by Justin Baldoni. Plus, a New York court has set a trial date for the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her It Ends With Us director and co-star.

Justin Baldoni left Blake Lively an apologetic voice note after the two discussed changes she made for the rooftop scene in 'It Ends with Us,' per audio that was leaked on Monday.

A New York court has also set a March 2026 trial date and intends to consolidate the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her director and co-star, who is suing both Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds.

A timeline for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's potential trial is taking shape as Judge Lewis J. Liman scheduled the key dates for the 'It Ends With Us' stars' proceedings.

Justin Baldoni is heard apologizing to his co-star Blake Lively in an audio message apparently sent to Lively amid production of their film “It Ends with Us,” long before the two stars launched into a legal battle that continues to play out in the public eye.

A legal expert tells Page Six Baldoni’s team likely chose that massive amount to message he “will fight to the death to defend his name and bring Lively and Reynolds down.”

The 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star apologizes repeatedly in the six minute-plus message for anything he did to upset her, and ends the recording by saying "you probably have kids all over you and a baby on your boob and you're listening to me ramble at 2 in the morning.

A federal judge has set a March 2026 trial date for actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to resolve their claims stemming from their work on the movie “It Ends With Us.”

Justin Baldoni made a comment to Blake Lively about having a "baby on your boob" in a voice memo he allegedly sent to the actress during the making of It Ends With Us.

Shortly after Lively sued him for sexual harassment, Baldoni countersued her and Ryan Reynolds. Get all the details here.
