jan 30, 2025 - Lively Objects Deposition by Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman

Description:

"Blake Lively wants Justin Baldoni's powerful celebrity attorney Bryan Freedman barred from taking her deposition, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The actress's lawyers have told their counterparts representing Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer that they object to veteran litigator Freedman conducting the under-oath grilling.

The shock demand is revealed in a new letter from Baldoni's team to the New York judge overseeing the It Ends with Us co-stars' $400million defamation suit.

They say the 37-year-old Gossip Girl alum and wife of Hollywood megastar Ryan Reynolds, 48, has no right to dictate who questions her.

'During a conference of the parties' counsel on January 30, 2025, counsel for the Wayfarer Parties requested the earliest possible deposition of Blake Lively,' Baldoni's attorney Kevin Fritz wrote to Judge Lewis Liman."
