All about the legal drama between Lively and Baldoni

It all began in December 2024 when Blake Lively filed her lawsuit, sending shockwaves through Hollywood. In addition to his countersuit, Baldoni also went after The New York Times with a $250 million lawsuit, accusing them of sensationalizing the initial news of Lively¡¯s complaint.

However, the media outlet stood firm in defending their reporting, and a judge recently decided to pause the lawsuit, giving the newspaper a break. Baldoni has also been battling accusations of his former publicist leaking damaging texts that allegedly played a role in the smear campaign claims.

In a world where celebrities' personal lives are always on display, this case seems to be one of the most compelling in recent memory. The stakes are high, and it looks like the docuseries will give fans a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic Hollywood feuds in years
