Blake Lively demanded the court impose a gag order on Justin Baldoni's lawyer after footage from the "It Ends With Us" set was released to the public amid ongoing legal proceedings.
"As Ms. Lively’s counsel have attempted, repeatedly, to caution Mr. Freedman, federal litigation must be conducted in court and according to the relevant rules of professional conduct," the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, stated. "His conduct threatens to, and will, materially prejudice both the Lively Case and the Wayfarer Case by tainting the jury pool, because his statements are deliberately aimed at undermining the ‘character, credibility, [and] reputation’ of numerous relevant parties." "[Justin Baldoni's lawyer's] conduct threatens to, and will, materially prejudice both the Lively Case and the Wayfarer Case by tainting the jury pool, because his statements are deliberately aimed at undermining the ‘character, credibility, [and] reputation’ of numerous relevant parties."
The letter, filed Jan. 21, laid out examples of Freedman's previous statements and included the release of unedited footage from "It Ends With Us." Both Lively and Baldoni have claimed the footage backs up each of their respective claims.
