Blake Lively v Justin Baldoni: trial evidence battle and what the jury may not hear

Fame Under Fire
Deals with adult themes.

Available for over a year

Motions in limine reveal competing attempts to restrict evidence in the Lively–Baldoni case, including challenges to witness testimony, viral material and past controversies. Legal arguments focus on whether the material informs the claim of retaliation, or risks biasing a jury. Our resident trial attorney Shaun Kent explains how evidentiary rules shape what may ultimately be presented in court.
