Blake Lively has received a stern warning amid major arguments as her claims of retaliation and breach of contract against Justin Baldoni still stand as her May 18 civil trial approaches.
The warning from Lively’s inner circle comes just days after a US judge dismissed harassment claims brought by the actor against co-star Justin Baldoni, the center of an explosive public feud between the two.
Now, Hollywood expert Rob Shuter has claimed that the pressure on Blake Lively is increasing – and this time, it’s coming from within her own circle.
Insiders tell Rob that friends, family, and even people close to Lively are quietly urging the actress to step away from her ongoing legal battle.
“People around Blake are begging him to compromise. They feel a lot of damage has already been done,” says the close confidant.
Insiders also warn Blake Lively, “This is not the victory she thinks about. The case is now weaker, not stronger.”
Earlier, following the legal setback, Blake Lively confirmed her intention to take legal action against co-star Justin Baldoni, even after a major harassment claim in her lawsuit was dismissed, saying she would “not be distracted by a digital soap opera.”
In a statement shared on her Instagram Stories, Lively said she is determined to get justice, with the case now set to go to trial on May 18 in New York.
“I will never stop playing my part in the fight to expose the system and those who seek to harm, shame, silence, and retaliate against victims,” ​​she wrote. She added, “I know being able to stand up is a privilege. I’m not going to waste it.”
