Blake Lively will testify in her and Justin Baldoni’s upcoming trial.
“The ultimate moment for a plaintiff’s story to be told is at trial,” her lawyer, Mike Gottlieb, told People on Thursday, May 8. “We expect that to be the case here [with Lively]. So we would, of course, expect her to be a witness at her trial. Of course, she’s going to testify.”
He added, “There are individuals who were witnesses to or experienced misconduct that is relevant to Ms. Lively’s claims. We expect their testimony, particularly about what took place on set, will come out through live witness testimony.”
Late last year, Lively, 37, sued Baldoni, 41, for sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment and trying to ruin her reputation when they worked together on It Ends With Us. Baldoni denied all claims before filing a $400 million defamation suit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The married couple have since filed to dismiss his case.
