Blake Lively’s court case with her co-star Justin Baldoni took another surprising turn after new papers revealed a private moment between them.
The documents said Baldoni visited Lively’s New York home in December 2022 when she was expecting a baby.
During a casual conversation about her pregnancy, the conversation allegedly turned to whether her unborn son would be circumcised.
At that time, the director and actor told the actress that he was circumcised.
However, the papers said this comment was made in a room where several people were present, including Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds’ nanny and assistants.
This new detail became part of the A Simple Favor actress’ push to take the case to court.
She claimed that the actote made her uncomfortable during the making of It ends with us and said that this moment showed how the atmosphere surrounding the project felt wrong to her.
Her lawyers argued the comment added to a pattern they believed crossed personal boundaries.
Baldoni dismissed her claims as his legal team said the conversation was harmless and argued that Lively was trying to use ordinary moments to support a false story.
They even asked the court to dismiss the case, saying there was no evidence of the behavior she described.
In addition, the judge set a trial date of March 9, 2026, meaning both sides would have more time to prepare for a lengthy legal battle.
The newly shared detail about the conversation brought more attention to a case.
