Justin Baldoni ‘devastated financially and emotionally’ by Blake Lively legal battle

Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle with his “It Ends With Us” co-star Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has allegedly taken its toll.
During a pre-trial conference on Monday, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman claimed the actor-director has suffered hardships due to the litigation.
Freedman said that the “Jane the Virgin” alum and his other clients “are devastated financially and emotionally,” per People.
Along with Baldoni, Freedman is representing Baldoni’s production company, Wayfarer Studios, “It Ends With Us” producers Jamey Heath and Steve Sarowitz and publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel.
“Not to sound like a 4-year-old fighting a 4-year-old with ‘they started it,’ but in these kinds of cases, once someone says something it becomes fact,” the attorney added, referring to Lively’s sexual harassment allegations.
“There’s no way to fight against it.”
Meanwhile, Lively’s attorney Michael Gottlieb claimed Baldoni’s alleged “retaliation campaign” against the “Gossip Girl” actress has been “devastating” for her, per CNN.
While Judge Lewis Liman denied Lively and Reynolds’ gag order request, he told both sides to avoid making public statements about the case because it could interfere with a fair trial, which has been scheduled for March 2026.
Liman also recommended that Baldoni, 41, and Lively, 37, consider an earlier trial date.
Lively’s attorneys Gottlieb and Esra Hudson were “pleased with the result of today’s hearing,” telling Page Six in a statement that they are “eager to move forward immediately with discovery in this case.”
“The Court granted our request that all attorneys in the matter actually follow the rule of law and not make any statements that could prejudice a jury.”
“This case deals with serious allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. We will hold the defendants accountable, and we are confident that once all the evidence is submitted in this matter, Ms. Lively will prevail,” they added.
Reps for Baldoni weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint — which was published by the New York Times — against the “Five Feet Apart” director on Dec. 21, 2024.
Baldoni denied the allegations before filing a defamation lawsuit against the Times, shortly before Lively filed a formal lawsuit against him.
Baldoni later responded by filing a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds, 48, on Jan. 16.
Baldoni has continued to make public attempts to refute Lively’s claims by releasing raw footage from the “It Ends With Us” set and launching a website with alleged correspondence regarding the film production.

Who Was Lauren Sánchez’s Maid of Honor During Wedding to Jeff Bezos?

NEED TO KNOW
- When Lauren Sánchez wed Jeff Bezos in a lavish Venice celebration, it was a family affair
- Vogue reports that Sánchez was walked down the aisle by her two sons, Nikko and Evan, during the celebration
- The outlet also confirms that the bride’s maid-of-honor was someone else close to her heart
Lauren Sánchez‘s wedding to Jeff Bezos was a family affair — with the bride walked down the aisle by her sons Nikko and Evan, and accompanied at the altar by her 17-year-old daughter Ella, who served as her maid of honor.
The Emmy-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot with the Amazon founder, 61, in a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27.
Vogue reports that Ella served as the bride’s maid of honor and delivered a reading at the ceremony. Per the outlet, Ella wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit (Sánchez herself wore a corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress custom-designed by Dolce, along with Dolce earrings).
“Ella’s original; she beats to her own drum. She had never had a fitting before, and she loved it. She’s going to look amazing. It has been the most fun dressing all the kids,” Lauren told Vogue.
The outlet also confirmed that Sánchez’s sons walked her down the aisle.

Sánchez welcomed son Nikko, 24, in 2001 with her ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. After the two split, Sánchez married her now ex-husband, businessman Patrick Whitesell. Sánchez and Whitesell celebrated the arrival of their son, Evan, 19, in 2006 and daughter, Ella, in 2008.
Sánchez and Bezos celebrated their Italian nuptials over several days, welcoming a number of their celebrity friends for the lavish festivities in the Floating City, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady.
Other notable guests included Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates and his girlfriend, Paula Hurd, François-Henri Pinault, and fashion designers Diane von Fürstenberg, Domenico Dolce and Tommy Hilfiger.

A source tells PEOPLE the couple’s wedding ceremony kicked off with a performance of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley, sung by Matteo Bocelli to cheers from the guests.
Shortly after the nuptials took place, Sánchez shared the first photo of the wedding on her Instagram. She and Bezos can be seen smiling and holding hands in a garden setting as their guests looked on.
PEOPLE confirmed that Bezos and Sánchez were engaged in May 2023, four years after news broke that they were in a relationship.

Andrew Cuomo headed on ‘getaway’ with mystery girlfriend

After a stunning upset in the heated New York City Democratic mayoral primary, we hear that Andrew Cuomo is headed on a weekend getaway with an unnamed gal pal.
A source told Page Six of the former New York governor: “Cuomo has a romantic weekend getaway planned with his girlfriend” in the wake of his primary loss Tuesday.
It’s unclear who the love interest is — and reps for the pol did not get back to us.
We reported back in 2023 that Cuomo was spotted out at Westport, Conn., restaurant Nômade dining with “a tall blond,” whom he was introducing as his girlfriend.
He’d also been spotted a year before with a “blond mystery woman” and a group of friends out in Chelsea at the McKittrick Hotel until 1 a.m., spies said.
Cuomo, 67, was in a 14-year relationship with Food Network star Sandra Lee. The pair split in 2019.
Despite any weekend break, Cuomo could stay in the race, The Post reported, remaining on the mayoral ballot to run on his Fight and Deliver party line in the general election. But it remains unclear whether Cuomo will actually mount a campaign.
Cuomo conceded on Tuesday after dark-horse Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, who has represented parts of Queens in the state Assembly for four years, racked up a viable lead and seemingly knocked out the political scion for the nomination.
“Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo said as the results came in, praising Mamdani’s grassroots campaign.
Cuomo had entered the race in March as a clear front-runner, but saw his polling steadily slip away as Mamdani waged a social media-friendly campaign.
Sources told The Post they were baffled that Cuomo lost a 40-point polling lead despite raking in more than $25 million between his own war chest and super PACs.
No wonder he needs some time away.
