Blake Lively faces strong warning as her claims of retaliation and breach of contract against Justin Baldoni remain intact ahead of their May 18 civil trial.
The warning comes from Lively’s inner circle, days after a US judge dismissed harassment claims brought by actor Blake Lively against co-star Justin Baldoni. The dismissal followed an explosive public row between the two actresses.
Hollywood expert Rob Shuter has claimed that pressure is mounting on Lively — and this time, it’s coming from inside her own circle. Insiders tell Rob that friends, family, and even those closest to Lively are quietly urging the actress to walk away from her ongoing legal battle.
The insiders have also warned Blake Lively, “This is not the win she thinks it is. The case is weaker now, not stronger.”
Following the legal setback, Lively reaffirmed her intent to take legal action against Baldoni on Instagram stories, stating she will not be distracted by a digital soap opera.
“I will never stop doing my part in fighting to expose the systems and people who seek to harm, shame, silence and retaliate against victims,” she wrote. “I know it’s a privilege to be able to stand up. I will not waste it.”
