Overview
- Lively filed a Dec. 4 opposition asking a Manhattan federal judge to deny Baldoni’s motion and keep her sexual harassment and retaliation case on track for a March 2026 trial.
- Baldoni’s November filing portrays her allegations as a litany of minor grievances that fail to show an adverse employment action or an objectively hostile environment.
- Newly filed records include producer Alex Saks’ testimony describing yelling, hand‑slamming, and feeling physically intimidated, with claims Wayfarer did not conduct a requested investigation.
- Court materials also capture Baldoni referring to a “Taylor Swift playbook” in messages about Lively and recounting a conversation in which he told her he was circumcised during a 2022 visit to her home.
- Lively’s papers allege a coordinated PR effort that cast her as a bully, while noting Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed and his team frames their media outreach as standard crisis management.
