Overview
- Lively’s heavily redacted opposition asks the court to deny Baldoni’s summary-judgment bid and send her sexual harassment and retaliation claims to a jury.
- Her lawyers argue Wayfarer leaders created a hostile set and then amplified negative narratives about her, characterizing the defense filings as scattershot.
- Baldoni’s November motion contends Lively’s accusations amount to minor grievances and fail to show an adverse employment action or an objectively hostile environment.
- The dispute follows the court’s dismissal of Baldoni’s separate defamation countersuit earlier this year, with Lively’s case currently calendared for a March 2026 trial in New York.
- Recent filings reference discovery materials and media coverage, including a deposition excerpt reported by Page Six in which Baldoni described a "Taylor Swift playbook," as both sides continue to contest PR tactics and leaked communications.
