Overview

• Blake Lively, currently in a legal dispute with Justin Baldoni over allegations of harassment and defamation, was seen working at a Connecticut donut shop on March 30.
• Lively described the experience as her 'happy place,' sharing photos of the visit on her Instagram Stories and emphasizing her love of baking.
• The legal battle stems from Lively's December 2024 lawsuit accusing Baldoni of harassment and a smear campaign, to which Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation countersuit.
• Lively and Ryan Reynolds have filed motions to dismiss Baldoni's lawsuit, citing California laws that protect victims of harassment from retaliatory legal actions.
• A trial date for the lawsuits has been set for March 9, 2026, with motions to dismiss Baldoni's defamation claims still pending.
