Actress Blake Lively has asked for "additional protections" in her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. As both sides agreed to a protective order (PO), attorneys for the actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, submitted a letter to Judge Lewis J. Liman in the Southern District of New York, requesting a stronger PO than the court's "model" one, reported People .
Among their requests for the proposed PO, which they also filed in a separate document, are “an Attorney’s Eyes Only” (‘AEO’) category, which applies to ‘Confidential Discovery Material of such a highly confidential and personal, sensitive, or proprietary nature that the revelation of such is likely to cause a competitive, business, commercial, financial, personal or privacy injury,’ as per the letter. Lively and Reynolds’ attorneys went on to claim that “good cause exists for the Court to adopt the Proposed PO,” citing the actress’s recently filed amended complaint against Baldoni, as per People . ”As detailed in Ms Lively’s Amended Complaint, Ms Lively, her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications,” the letter states.
Baldoni’s team shared in a statement, “We do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation,” and said they, too, have faced threats during the legal dispute.” Anyone receivi.
