Blake Lively has always been known for her grace and charm, but now, her life is embroiled in a dramatic legal battle with none other than actor and director Justin Baldoni. Recently, the 37-year-old actress hit a major bump in the road, as a federal judge dismissed one of her crucial claims in her ongoing lawsuit against Baldoni. But instead of succumbing to the stress of the case, Lively took to Instagram this week, offering a refreshing break from the courtroom drama. Her new video, posted on Friday, had fans talking – and it’s safe to say she knows how to turn heads in more ways than one.

While most people would be wracked with anxiety over a legal setback, Blake Lively’s response was a calm and collected Instagram post. In the video, she casually demonstrates her hair routine, using products from her own beauty line alongside L’Oréal spray and BaByliss hot rollers. It’s a stark contrast to the intensity of her ongoing legal battle, showing the actress in a light, breezy moment. In the caption, she writes, “I’m an old school devotee to hot rollers and mousse like my mama,” a personal touch that reminds fans of her down-to-earth nature.

Despite the serene façade, Lively is facing a serious legal challenge. Her claim against Jed Wallace, a PR expert allegedly involved in a smear campaign against her, was recently dismissed. A judge ruled that Wallace could not be held accountable in New York due to jurisdictional issues since his company, Street Relations, is based in Texas. This ruling sent shockwaves through the case, leaving many to wonder what this would mean for Blake’s fight for justice. But Lively isn’t backing down just yet – her legal team is exploring new options to hold Wallace accountable, and the battle is far from over.

Blake Lively’s Battle Against Alleged Retaliation
The heart of Blake’s lawsuit against Baldoni lies in the allegations of sexual harassment that she made against him during the filming of It Ends With Us. But she claims there’s more at play here than just a workplace incident – Blake accuses Baldoni’s team of orchestrating a malicious media campaign to discredit her. She alleges that Wallace was hired to carry out this campaign, using untraceable tactics to manipulate public opinion. The idea that a “digital army” could be used to ruin her reputation adds an unsettling layer of complexity to the case.

The Deposition Drama: Location Disputes and Media Spectacles
As if the legal wrangling wasn’t enough, the location of Blake’s deposition has become a hot topic of debate. Her lawyers have demanded that the deposition not be held at Baldoni’s law firm’s offices in New York, citing fears of a media circus and paparazzi swarming the location. Lively’s team argues that the process should remain confidential, away from the prying eyes of the press. But Baldoni’s side, not surprisingly, is pushing back, accusing Blake of using her celebrity status to gain an advantage in the legal proceedings.

In a surprising twist, private text messages between Blake and her close friend Taylor Swift have become part of the legal drama. Baldoni’s team has subpoenaed these personal communications, hoping to find evidence to support their claims against Lively. Some of the texts are reportedly embarrassing, including one where Blake jokingly refers to herself as Game of Thrones’ Khaleesi and Swift as one of her “dragons.” The stakes are rising as these private conversations are about to be brought into the open – but will they really change the course of the case?

Blake’s Legal Strategy: Determined, But Not Without Struggles
Despite these setbacks, Blake’s legal team is determined to press on. They’ve already made it clear that they want the deposition to be a one-time affair, lasting no more than seven hours. And while it’s clear that the battle isn’t going in Blake’s favor at the moment, her team is not ready to give up. Their latest strategy focuses on securing a new venue for the deposition, one that will shield Lively from the media’s prying eyes. If nothing else, Blake’s legal fight is showing her unwavering determination to see this through, no matter what.
