Blake Lively Scores Legal Win, Launches Preserve Amid Baldoni Battle Blaze

Blake Lively BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The main headline dominating Blake Lively’s life the past few days involves her legal battle with Justin Baldoni. In a significant win, Lively was granted a protective order by Judge Lewis J Liman, allowing her to choose the confidential setting for her upcoming deposition on July 17. This decision came despite vocal opposition from Baldoni’s team, who accused her of leveraging celebrity status to control proceedings. Baldoni’s attorney even floated the outlandish idea of staging the deposition live at Madison Square Garden and selling tickets, a move Lively’s camp blasted as a publicity stunt. Her lawyers warned that turning the process into a “media circus” would only increase security risks and further sensationalize what they call a “serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation,” not reality TV. Baldwin’s countersuits of extortion and defamation against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds were already dismissed, and both sides are set to testify at their March 2026 trial in New York according to multiple sources including People and Times Now.

Social media has predictably been ablaze; E! News racked up thousands of comments as new details about the case emerged, reflecting how keenly the public is tracking every revelation. Lively’s victory was widely reported as a precedent for safeguarding celebrity witnesses in high profile trials, with her deposition now set for her lawyer’s office in Manhattan, out of the paparazzi’s reach as covered by reputable outlets like People, AOL, and IMDB.

Not everything in Lively’s world is courtroom drama. She’s been busy on the business front too. On July 10, she launched preserve.us, an ecommerce platform featuring food, clothing, and home goods curated by Lively with proceeds benefiting Covenant House. While the new site is earning praise for championing artisans and for its charitable component, there’s chatter online critiquing the high prices and Lively’s somewhat quirky introductory letter. Still, it’s a bold entrepreneurial step echoing the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba, and only time will reveal if Preserve becomes a lifestyle juggernaut or just another celebrity experiment.

Meanwhile, her Betty Booze sparkling cocktail line continues making waves in the celebrity alcohol space, drawing frequent comparisons to husband Ryan Reynolds’ success with Aviation Gin—though their businesses remain separate.

Across headlines, social feeds, and business news, Blake Lively’s week stands as a snapshot of celebrity life at maximum intensity, with high stakes legal maneuvering, viral debate, and new ventures all competing for the limelight.
