"The addition comes just weeks after People reported that a second accuser will likely testify against the actor and director in the forthcoming It Ends With Us trial. Come March 9, 2026, an unknown person might take the stand with claims in accordance with Blake Lively's accusations that Baldoni created a hostile work environment on the set of the 2024 romantic drama."
"In August, Lively's team also filed a motion for sanctions against Baldoni's other attorney, Bryan J. Freedman. In it, the lawyers claim that Freedman and his clients have made a habit of leaking "biased and inflammatory pre-trial indictments of Ms. Lively's character, credibility, and reputation" and "publicly slandering" the actress. The most recent example of such was, of course, their depositions, which took place in August."
A potential second accuser is expected to likely testify against the actor and director in the It Ends With Us trial on March 9, 2026. The possible testimony aligns with Blake Lively's allegation that Baldoni created a hostile work environment on the 2024 romantic-drama set. In August, Lively's legal team filed a motion for sanctions against Baldoni's attorney Bryan J. Freedman, alleging a pattern of leaking "biased and inflammatory pre-trial indictments" and publicly slandering Lively. August depositions prompted tabloid coverage that noted Baldoni's presence and Lively attending with family and eight attorneys. Freedman has previously litigated the case in the press, including a television appearance.
