Blake Lively found herself in the middle of unexpected legal drama, and the latest twist had everyone talking. Reports surfaced that she didn’t want to face Justin Baldoni’s lawyer in court, sparking speculation about whether her request would be granted.
Courtrooms weren’t exactly known for catering to personal preferences, but in Hollywood, stranger things had happened. Legal experts weighed in, breaking down what could happen next.
Blake Lively’s deposition dilemma: No easy way out
Blake Lively’s reported attemptto avoid facing Justin Baldoni’s lawyer in court is not looking good.
Legal expert weighed in, making one thing crystal clear:“That is absolutely not how it works.”Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ legal teamobjected to Brian J. Fredman personally conducting her deposition. Their reason was kept under wraps. When pressed, they declined to elaborate.

But here’s the deal: when you file a lawsuit, you’re signing up for a deposition.“You can’t just say no, I’m not going to get deposed when you file a lawsuit,”the expert explained. It’s a standard legal process, and attempting to control who gets to ask the questions isn’t typically an option.
The bigger issue, though? This objection could signal“weakness, fear, or entitlement.”Courts don’t allow plaintiffs to pick and choose who interrogates them. The expert even joked about how unrealistic that would be:“Judge, can I have the first-year associate depose me?”
There are ways to limit aggressive tactics, like having a judge present, but the request to outright block Fredman from handling the deposition doesn’t seem likely to succeed. Unless there’s a history of misconduct, such restrictions rarely hold up in court.
