Lively, Reynolds, Baldoni in 2026 Legal Battle

Blake Lively discussed her emotional and professional challenges in her first televised interview since legal disputes began with 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni. Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, which he denies, resulting in ongoing lawsuits involving both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. She spoke about the toll the controversy has taken on her and her family, and highlighted the broader issue of women fearing to speak out. Lively credited her family, especially her children, for their support and resilience. Despite the intense public and legal scrutiny, Lively was recently named one of Time Magazine’s most influential people. A trial in the case is scheduled for 2026.
