Blake Lively’s legal team proposed a stronger protective order in her case involving “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni…

Blake Lively wants heightened protective order after receiving ‘violent’ messages during Justin Baldoni case.
Lively and others who have spoken out in support of the actress have received “violent” messages, leading the “Gossip Girl” star to request “heightened” protections, according to a letter filed in court and obtained by Fox News Digital.
“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 court docs read.
For example, in the days after January 31, 2025 – when the Wayfarer Plaintiffs filed their Amended Complaint, including a 100-plus page exhibit with text threads – one fact witness known to publicly support Ms. Lively and whose texts the Wayfarer Parties excerpted (ostensibly without his permission) received a written threat indicating that the witness’s family would be sexually assaulted and killed unless the witness agreed to ‘make a statement and give the truth,’” the letter continued.
Lively’s team claimed that releasing certain discovery in the battle between the “A Simple Favor” star and Baldoni “will create a ‘defined, specific and serious injury’ to parties and non-parties, such as by violating their privacy, exposing them to threats, and creating a climate of possible witness intimidation.”
Baldoni has until March 11 to file his own version of a protective order for the judge to review before choosing a final version.
