00:00Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni is officially going to trial.

00:04Who will win?

00:06It's getting harder and harder to tell these days, really.

00:09This It Ends With Us drama just landed an official court date.

00:13Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has got a trial date March of next year.

00:18Yes, people, we're talking March 2026.

00:22A New York judge has decided that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni,

00:27along with their respective teams of lawyers, need to gear up for a jaw-dropping face-off.

00:32Hard to believe these two were once co-stars celebrating a box office smash in summer 2024.

00:39And now, they're at each other's throats in a case that involves text messages,

00:44video leaks, and even hush orders.

00:46The judges' scheduling also sped up an initial conference

00:50so the lawyers can discuss how to handle the whirlwind of pre-trial publicity.

00:55That's legal talk for, stop flooding the press with spin.

00:59Blake's attorney's alleged Justin side is stirring the pot by selectively

01:04releasing documents and behind-the-scenes footage.

01:07Meanwhile, Justin's lawyer, Brian Freedman,

01:10insists they're only defending themselves with fact.

01:13The back and forth has become so heated that both sides accuse each other of trying to

01:18bias potential jurors before anyone even sets foot in the courtroom.

01:22And the madness doesn't end there.

01:25Blake's also launching some steps in Texas, eyeing a crisis management firm

01:30that she claims manipulated social media to trash her reputation.

01:34The plot twists keep rolling in faster than a red carpet scandal.

01:39At this rate, 2026 might feel like an eternity away.

01:44But for fans and observers hungry for more revelations, the countdown has definitely

01:49started.

01:49Ever seen a Hollywood feud so intense that one side begs a judge to shut the other up?

01:55That's precisely where Blake is right now.

01:57Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are firing back,

02:00claiming that statements that are being made in the public need to be stopped.

02:03She's frantic to stop Justin's lawyer, Freedman, from dropping more juicy tidbits online.

02:09In her view, he's staging a retaliatory media campaign

02:13designed to ruin her name before the trial even begins.

02:17It's not just about damage control.

02:19Her attorneys argue Freedman could be sabotaging the whole case

02:23by turning the public and potential jurors against her.

02:27According to Blake's team, Freedman is cooking up a website set

02:32to showcase incriminating out-of-context documents and messages.

02:36They claim that's not only unethical, it's also a surefire way to taint the jury pool.

02:42Freedman, however, says Blake can't handle the real story emerging.

02:47He calls her petrified of the truth,

02:50insisting she's the one who took their feud to the press first with a so-called hit piece.

02:56Now, he's determined to get revenge.

02:58It's a PR back-and-forth, no doubt,

03:01with each side slamming the other for extrajudicial statements.

03:05The judge, though, has bigger concerns.

03:08He wants them in his courtroom real soon to figure out

03:12if either party is stepping outside the bounds of professional conduct.

03:16Just when you thought this was confined to New York, Blake dropped another info dump.

03:21She's filed a request in Hayes County, Texas, aiming to grill a manager named Jed Wallace,

03:27who's allegedly tied to Justin's production company.

03:31Why? Because she believes Wallace orchestrated a widespread social media campaign smearing her,

03:37using Reddit, TikTok, and who knows what else.

03:40If that's true, it may back up Blake's claim of a deliberate effort

03:44to tarnish her image during the film's release.

03:47Wallace isn't named as a defendant in her New York lawsuits, but that could change.

03:52This Texas filing could set the stage for another front.

03:55According to Blake's docs, the PR whiz weaponized a digital army,

04:01posting or boosting negative chatter about her.

04:04Think of it as an underground rumor factory feeding the public's worst assumptions.

04:09Friedman, who apparently represents Wallace, hasn't commented yet.

04:13Though he's been busy calling out all attempts by Blake to

04:16mute the truth, it's like each passing day reveals another card in this high-stakes game.

04:22But for fans, this new development raises big questions.

04:26If all those negative posts about Blake were artificially generated, can she prove it?

04:32And if so, was Justin or his team behind it all?

04:36We could be on the cusp of seeing how far celebrities and studios

04:40are willing to go to manipulate public sentiment.

04:42It's definitely not the Hollywood fairy tale anyone expected.

04:46The date is set for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's courtroom appearance,

04:51and March 9th, 2026 might sound far away.

04:55But in court terms, that's surprisingly direct.

04:59A trial date has been set for March of 2026 in the ongoing legal dispute

05:03between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

05:06It gives both sides time to compile evidence,

05:09schedule depositions, and strategize their next moves.

05:12But for fans who can't wait to see how this unfolds, it's a long countdown.

05:17Louis J. Lyman has already merged both Blake's and Justin's lawsuits into one big case,

05:24meaning we'll get a single mega-trial about defamation,

05:27possible PR manipulation, and God knows what else.

05:31With so many allegations floating around, like extra intimate scenes, suppressed footage,

05:37private jets, alleged behind-the-scenes flirting,

05:40this trial could make any prime-time legal drama look tame.

05:45But the judge didn't just set the trial date.

05:47He bumped up an initial conference from February 2025 to the end of January 2025.

05:54Why the rush?

05:56Apparently, he wants to address all the finger-pointing over Friedman's media statements.

06:01The court's worried about potential juror prejudice,

06:05meaning it's time to rein in the public mudslinging

06:08before it turns the entire jury pool against one or the other.

06:12It's not every day you see a judge telling A-list celebrities

06:16and their high-profile attorneys to cool it.

06:19But these allegations are so wild that the judge is clearly stepping in early.

06:25And while fans might be entertained by every juicy leak,

06:29the participants themselves are likely anxious.

06:32Trials are expensive, stressful, and unpredictable,

06:36especially with so many heated personalities in the ring.

06:40Leaks, leaks, and more leaks.

06:43That's basically how both Blake and Justin's legal teams are duking it out.

06:53Blake's side calls Justin's footage releases manufactured media stunts.

06:58Friedman says they're just exposing receipts that Blake wants hidden.

07:03Who's right? Who knows?

07:05Both approaches aim to sway public opinion long before court proceedings begin.

07:10In Friedman's defense, he claims it's Blake who first turned to the press with her complaint,

07:16setting off coverage in major outlets like the New York Times.

07:20Her lawyers say they had to do it because of the severity of her allegations.

07:25She needed to speak up.

07:27Friedman, though, insists that once you weaponize the media against a defendant,

07:32you can't scream foul when the defendant defends himself the same way.

07:37That's why he labels her gag order request rich with irony.

07:43It's tricky.

07:44If Friedman is selectively releasing juicy bits to spin the narrative,

07:48that's definitely questionable.

07:51But if the full context genuinely helps Justin,

07:54is it really wrong for him to show it?

07:56The public, as usual, is caught in a swirl of partial evidence.

08:01Some people are already complaining that each leak seems incomplete,

08:05leaving out the bigger picture.

08:07Or maybe the bigger picture is that two big stars are scrapping for control,

08:12with each leak adding another angle to an already confusing story.

08:17Swirling rumors claim Blake and Ryan's marriage is taking a hit, too,

08:22because of all the drama.

08:23It all started when an outspoken royal commentator, Lady Colin Campbell,

08:29claimed she'd heard from sources close to the couple

08:32that the stress of this lawsuit could tear them apart.

08:35Talk about a turn no one saw coming,

08:38from everyone's favorite relationship goals pair to potentially a union on the rocks.

08:45The chatter says Ryan has a track record of swooping in on lucrative ventures,

08:50so maybe that pattern repeated with It Ends With Us, and Justin refused to play along.

08:56More scandalous is the rumor that Ryan may have sensed

09:00too strong a spark between Blake and Justin.

09:03Lady C teased that Blake actually found Justin pretty darn appealing,

09:08and Ryan's jealousy skyrocketed.

09:11If so, it'd explain why this meltdown became so personal so fast.

09:16Gossip has been spinning the idea that Blake pinned the blame on Justin

09:21once Ryan sniffed out possible flirty vibes.

09:24So basically, she unloaded all these allegations to protect her relationship.

09:31Could it all be just speculation?

09:34Absolutely.

09:35But the notion that big-time stress is crashing down on them is plausible.

09:40They've skipped major events,

09:42presumably to avoid red-carpet questions about the lawsuits.

09:47Online, fans debate whether the fiasco is stoking old insecurities in Ryan

09:53or shining a harsh spotlight on some cracks in their marriage.

09:57After all, even the strongest celebrity couples

10:00might buckle under so many explosive accusations and swirling rumors.

10:06That's the angle Lady C is doubling down on, and many watchers are nodding in agreement.

10:12With each passing day, the tension escalates.

10:15One minute, Friedman is unveiling new raw footage

10:19that supposedly clears Justin of wrongdoing.

10:22The next, Blake's attorneys scream foul.

10:25Blake is also going after a manager she thinks manipulated online chatter about her.

10:30Launching a new possible front in Texas,

10:33Ryan is strangely silent, fueling speculation that behind closed doors,

10:38he's engineering the entire strategy.

10:42Add it all up, and you've got the makings of a volcanic eruption

10:46won't truly erupt until March 2026.
