Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have attacked each other in court—and in the press—since filing competing lawsuits over treatment on the set of "It Ends With Us."

In a federal lawsuit, Blake Lively claimed that a mysterious Texas-based social media guru ran an untraceable smear campaign against her at the behest of Justin Baldoni. On Wednesday, a judge granted Jed Wallace’s motion to dismiss himself as a defendant in the case.

Blake Lively's deposition, which was scheduled to take place on July 17, 2025, has been postponed. The new date for Lively's deposition is announced as July 31, as reported by TMZ.

In her federal lawsuit, Blake Lively alleged that Texas-based PR and social media specialist, Jed Wallace orchestrated a smear campaign against her on behalf of “It Ends With Us” director Justin Baldoni. On Wednesday, a judge dismissed Wallace from the case in a legal setback for Lively’s camp.
