Blake Lively to testify against Justin Baldoni during the trial along with documents and witnesses, the attorney confirms

Blake Lively is ready to stand in the witness box and answer the questions against Justin Baldoni in the trial, under oath. The 37-year-old actress is ready to testify in the court of law, along with the other ‘witnesses’ and ‘evidence.’Blake Lively’s attorney, Mike Gottlieb, said, “The ultimate moment for a plaintiff's story to be told is at trial. We expect that to be the case here [with Lively].So we would, of course, expect her to be a witness at her trial. Of course, she’s going to testify,” according to People magazine. The speculations about her speaking out about the case on the witness stand surfaced on the internet when her speech from the Time100 Gala went viral. During the speech, apart from disclosing that Blake’s mother faced an unfortunate experience with her co-worker, who attempted to take her mother’s life, Blake shared that she has ‘so much to say about the last two years’ of her life.Gottlieb confirmed the rumour and additionally stated that there are witnesses who experienced or can confirm Lively’s claims. “We expect their testimony, particularly about what took place on set, will come out through live witness testimony,” he added.Along with witnesses, the legal team has documents and statements from producers and other eyewitnesses to present in the court. “And we expect and hope that in discovery we'll have an opportunity to really focus on what we believe to be the core part of the case, which is that this retaliation campaign was launched against Ms. Lively for her having raised concerns about sexual harassment,” Blake’s attorney asserted.Amidst the Lively-Baldoni case, Ryan’s involvement regarding testifying is unclear. Moreover, when Baldoni’s team said that they may subpoena major celebrities like Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman, concerns were further raised.Gottlieb said The core focus is about the sexual harassment on the set, and not about any songs chosen for the film or fictional characters. Stating that the questions are to be raised for the relevance, Mike said, “Do they have any actual relevance to the case at hand? You can't just go around subpoenaing people because they're famous and you think it will generate a bunch of headlines. And the federal courts don't tolerate that kind of behaviour.”
