00:00Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's trial just got postponed for one major reason.

00:05Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's March 2026 court appearance for It Ends With Us has been delayed.

00:12What began as on-set drama escalated into a legal battle, and Blake Lively is set to testify.

00:18Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's trial, originally set for March 2026, has been postponed to May 18, 2026.

00:26Judge Louis Lyman noted that, as important as this case is, criminal trials take precedent, according to Deadline.

00:34Blake Lively has given her deposition ahead of the It Ends With Us trial, with Justin Baldoni reportedly in the room.

00:41Sources told TMZ that the pre-trial testimony took place in New York City on July 31, 2025,

00:48with both actors, their attorneys, a court reporter, and a videographer present.

00:53Depositions are usually private, so Justin's attendance was unexpected.

00:58Blake Lively will testify at the It Ends With Us trial, her lawyer Mike Gottlieb confirmed.

01:04Other witnesses to on-set misconduct are also expected.

01:07Gottlieb added that distractions over the past nine months have obscured the case's core.

01:12Lively faced a retaliation campaign after raising sexual harassment concerns.

01:17Blake Lively is taking Justin Baldoni to court, alleging sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us.

01:23A December 2024 New York Times piece reported that Justin and his team allegedly launched a smear campaign against her after the movie's release.

01:32Justin's lawyer, Brian Friedman, called the claim false, outrageous, and intentionally salacious.

01:38But Lively's team insists this isn't a simple feud or creative dispute.

01:42They stated that sexual harassment and retaliation are illegal in all workplaces,

01:47and tactics like blaming the victim or reversing roles serve to normalize and trivialize serious misconduct.

01:53Justin Baldoni's defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, their publicists, and The New York Times,

02:00filed January 16, 2025, was paused in March with the court blocking discovery requests against the paper.

02:07Blake Lively was also sued by Jed Wallace for $7 million, who seeks the same amount plus a court order clearing him of harassment claims,

02:15alleging her deposition request caused significant reputational and financial harm.

02:21The It Ends With Us drama has impacted the cast and author Colleen Hoover,

02:24who deleted most photos with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

02:27Justin claimed Taylor Swift witnessed a key dispute, and his lawyer subpoenaed her,

02:33but her spokesperson denied any involvement, saying she never visited the set,

02:37participated in production, or saw the film until weeks after release while touring.
