New accusers in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni suit could make or break case

Testimony from two additional accusers in Blake Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni could “make or break” the case.Lively has now claimed she, along with other cast and crew members, experienced “invasive, unwelcome, unprofessional, and sexually inappropriate behavior” from Justin Baldoni on the set of “It Ends With Us.”“As a preliminary matter, having the support of credible witnesses is extremely useful to Lively,” legal expert Heidi Reavis told Fox News Digital.“In cases involving subjective experience, third-party witnesses can make or break the case.”“If third-party witnesses can support Lively’s version of events, and especially if Baldoni cannot, she will definitely have the upper hand when it comes to her credibility and the veracity of her claims.”Lively claimed two additional female cast members are willing to testify during the scheduled 2026 trial.

However, the women both remained anonymous throughout Lively’s 138-page complaint, and details of their allegations were not shared.“The dangerous climate of threats, harassment, and intimidation fueled by the Defendants’ retaliation campaign has required Ms.Lively to alter her personal and professional life, and to take steps to protect innocent bystanders rather than exposing them to further harm,” Lively’s lawsuit, obtained by Fox News Digital, stated. “Thus, this Amended Complaint does not refer to certain witnesses by name, nor does it provide screen shots of their text messages.

Importantly, however, these witnesses have given Ms.Lively permission to share the substance of their communications in this Amended Complaint as contained herein, and they will testify and produce responsive documents in the discovery process.”It’s unclear if the unnamed female cast members filed an official complaint about Baldoni’s alleged “unwelcome behavior,” but that fact isn’t “fatal” to their testimony against the actor, legal experts say.�...
