Blake Lively is facing a new deposition request connected to a legal dispute over approximately $800,000 in attorney fees linked to the Justin Baldoni controversy. A Texas PR consultant, Jed Wallace, asks to question Lively as part of efforts to contest claims related to the requested fees. Wallace also points to Lively’s alleged nonappearance at an earlier deposition.
In court filings referenced by outlets, Wallace argues that Lively’s earlier allegations were made with malice, and that this should affect whether attorney fees are awarded. Other reporting characterizes the dispute as continuing despite prior legal developments.
Lively’s representatives respond that the case had been dismissed and that Lively has already won the legal battle. Across the coverage, the central difference is how each side frames the merits of the underlying claims and what they mean for the attorney-fee award, with Wallace pursuing additional testimony while Lively’s team asserts she is already the prevailing party.
