Overview
- Newly public texts and depositions include Jenny Slate calling Baldoni a “false ally,” “fraud” and “clown,” and her testimony that he made “sexy” and “hot” comments she viewed as inappropriate at work.
- Actor Isabela Ferrer testified that during a scene depicting her character’s first sexual experience, Baldoni said, “I’m not supposed to say this, but that was hot,” which she described as out of place on set.
- Partially unsealed messages show Blake Lively calling Baldoni a “doofus” and “clown,” and Taylor Swift texting that “this bitch” had his “tiny violin,” while Swift is not a party to the suit and her team has distanced her from the production.
- Lively’s filings describe creative rifts that led her to assemble her own cut and accuse Wayfarer of failing to investigate real‑time complaints; Baldoni denies wrongdoing and his $400 million countersuit was dismissed in 2025.
- Judge Lewis J. Liman ordered broad disclosure ahead of Thursday’s hearing on Baldoni’s bid to narrow the case, with a trial currently set for May 18 and Baldoni’s submissions not yet comparably public.
