“Blake Lively Reveals Emotional Toll on Ryan Reynolds and Kids Amid Justin Baldoni Legal Battle”

Blake Lively has shared how the ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni has emotionally affected her, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their children. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, her co-star from It Ends With Us, in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and leading a smear campaign against her. Baldoni denied the claims and countersued Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist for defamation. Both sides have rejected the allegations.

The legal dispute has revealed several claims, including leaked messages and a voice note where Baldoni reportedly apologized to Lively, admitting he had “messed up.” A new court document from Lively’s legal team states that her children have been deeply affected by the situation, leaving them “traumatized.” Lively and Reynolds, who have been married for 12 years, share four children: James is 10, Inez is 8, Betty is 5, and Olin is 2 years old.

The document explains that Lively has struggled with anxiety and trauma, often finding it hard to leave her bed or go out in public. It also mentions that Reynolds has been impacted mentally, physically, and professionally by the stress caused to his family. The filing emphasizes that the children have suffered the most, with their emotional well-being significantly disrupted.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, responded to the updated complaint, calling the new claims “underwhelming.” He stated that his clients have provided evidence, including documents and videos, that tell a different story from what Lively has shared. Freedman criticized Lively for lacking solid evidence and suggested that upcoming depositions would reveal the truth. He also expressed surprise at Reynolds making jokes about the situation during a recent Saturday Night Live event, questioning the appropriateness of humor in such a serious matter.

The legal battle continues as both sides prepare for further court proceedings.
