Blake Lively BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Blake Lively has been making headlines over the past few days for a string of legal developments that are shaping not just her calendar, but also her public image and potentially her long-term career narrative. Most significantly, multiple outlets including TMZ and ABC News have reported that Lively’s much-anticipated deposition in her legal showdown with actor-director Justin Baldoni has been postponed yet again, now rescheduled for July 31st after an emergency hearing and the dismissal of social media consultant Jed Wallace from the case for jurisdictional reasons. This pause in proceedings does not reflect on the actual substance of Lively’s allegations against Wallace, according to her spokesperson, but rather is a procedural hiccup tied to whether he can be tried in New York. Lively’s team maintains they are exploring alternative routes to hold Wallace accountable, with the amended complaint possibly reshaping future litigation.
In the same legal saga, Lively managed a pre-deposition win: Variety and IMDb note that she successfully petitioned the judge for her deposition to occur at her own counsel’s office, rather than Baldoni’s team’s preference, shielding her from a public spectacle. The judge also granted an expanded protective order, citing the high-profile and sensitive nature of the case—including alleged sexual misconduct and media exposure risks—mandating confidentiality over mental health records and other personal details.
Simultaneously, Business Insider reports that Lively has been ordered to hand over three years’ worth of business income records to Baldoni’s side as the legal action presses on. Speculation continues regarding the impact of these proceedings not only on Lively’s career but also on industry perceptions of privacy and professional reputations.
On the public stage, Lively made her first appearance and brief remarks since the legal turmoil began, speaking warmly about her latest film role as reported by AOL, though she avoided controversy or legal specifics. She has also decided to skip the 2025 Golden Globes, as confirmed by Deadline and PEOPLE, with her husband Ryan Reynolds and his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Hugh Jackman likewise declining to attend. Sources indicate their absence was arranged well before this latest escalation, but the timing is nonetheless headline-grabbing and suggests a deliberate effort to stay out of the spotlight amid the controversy.
Social media buzzed with the news, with multiple posts and fan discussion around the recent developments, especially regarding Lively’s deposition location victory, as seen on Instagram. Her legal battles continue to dominate entertainment news cycles, and though her professional resolve and public demeanor suggest she is ready to face whatever comes next, the outcome of this dispute and its impact on her image remain a closely watched story.
