Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are pursuing heightened protections in their ongoing legal conflict with Justin Baldoni, following alarming reports of threatening communications received by Lively and her supporters. The couple's request includes stricter confidentiality measures for sensitive information during the lawsuit, reacting to what they describe as violent and sexist threats. Baldoni's team condemned these threats while emphasizing that he too has faced harassment. The ongoing case stems from accusations of sexual harassment filed by Lively against Baldoni, who has countersued, claiming defamation and extortion. The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
