Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni's 'It Ends with Us' legal battle: A timeline -  ABC News

In a legal drama straight out of a Hollywood script, Blake Lively’s private lawsuit deposition turned into a public spectacle when actor-director Justin Baldoni made a shocking and unexpected appearance—sending ripples through the courtroom and the entertainment world alike.

Sources close to the case say Lively was midway through her testimony when Baldoni—her former collaborator and rumored rival in an ongoing intellectual property dispute—entered the deposition room without warning. The reaction was immediate.

“She looked like she had seen a ghost,” said one observer familiar with the situation. “It was clearly a tense moment. Nobody had told her he’d be there. You could feel the air change.”

The nature of the lawsuit remains confidential, but whispers in Hollywood allege it stems from a collapsed film production the two stars were involved in.

The once-promising project reportedly fell apart due to creative disagreements, and since then, legal tensions have been brewing beneath the surface. What was once a potential artistic collaboration has now spiraled into a full-scale legal battle.

Baldoni’s appearance, though unannounced, was apparently authorized by his legal team. However, his timing and entrance—during Lively’s testimony—was interpreted by some as deliberate and confrontational.

Others suggest it may have been a strategic move meant to gauge her response or unsettle her position in the case.

Insiders say Blake initially froze when he entered, then quickly regained her composure—but not before exchanging what sources describe as a “loaded look” with the Five Feet Apart director. No words were exchanged in front of others, but their silent stare spoke volumes.

Online, fans and media outlets alike have erupted with speculation. “It’s giving courtroom thriller,” one viral tweet read. Others dubbed it “Hollywood’s trial of the year,” drawing comparisons to the Depp-Heard saga in terms of unexpected celebrity conflict.

While both camps remain tight-lipped, the legal community is buzzing. One entertainment lawyer not involved in the case told us, “Depositions are typically controlled, calm environments.

What happened here breaks all expectations. It’s a psychological play, and a risky one.”

The risk may not just be legal—it could be reputational. Blake Lively has spent years building an image of poise and control, avoiding the kind of scandals that often follow celebrities at her level.

This courtroom surprise may mark her most public moment of vulnerability to date.

Paparazzi later captured Blake leaving the building, visibly tense, her signature elegance replaced with a guarded silence. She declined to comment and was quickly ushered into a black SUV.

Her legal team has since issued a short statement saying only: “We’re continuing to cooperate with the process.”

Baldoni, meanwhile, left through a different exit but was seen moments later speaking briefly with legal aides. His camp has made no official comment on his motivations for attending the deposition in person.

Observers say this may signal a new phase of the case, one in which both stars will need to navigate not only the courtroom but also public opinion. With speculation mounting and legal documents expected to surface in the coming weeks, the drama is far from over.

Social media, predictably, has already chosen sides. Some are calling Baldoni’s move “bold” and “necessary,” arguing that if he’s fighting for his artistic rights, he has every reason to face Blake directly.

Others, however, say his presence was “unprofessional” and “intimidating,” especially given the closed-door nature of depositions.

This isn’t the first time the two stars have crossed paths in tense professional settings. Rumors of friction date back to 2022, when they were linked to a now-abandoned drama project that was quietly pulled from streaming development.

Though both parties stayed silent at the time, today’s legal battle may be unearthing deeper rifts behind the scenes.
