Justin Baldoni Demands Blake Lively’s Wealth Be Revealed in Court Battle
Key Points
- Blake claims a £130 million loss, prompting Justin to seek disclosure of her finances.
- He wants Ryan Reynolds’ earnings and the "Nicepool" role examined as alleged reputation damage.
- Judge dismissed Blake’s defamation claim; breach-of-contract and retaliation trial proceeds in May.
JUSTIN Baldoni has fired back at Blake Lively’s attempt to keep her fortune under wraps in their looming court showdown.
The actor and director insists Blake’s bank balance is crucial to the trial, pointing out she herself dragged money into the dispute by claiming she lost millions because of his alleged smear campaign, TMZ reports.
Blake alleges she’s been hit with a £130 million loss thanks to Justin’s actions, making her financial status a key part of the case.
But Justin isn’t stopping there.
He’s also pushing to bring Ryan Reynolds’ income into the spotlight, arguing Blake often turns down roles that clash with her husband’s schedule, especially when Ryan’s paycheque is heftier.
Together, Blake and Ryan boast a staggering estimated worth of around £300 million, a figure Justin says jurors need to understand.
The judge recently dismissed Blake’s defamation claim, which might make her financial losses irrelevant, but Justin is still fighting to keep the money talk alive.
He’s also demanding that Ryan’s character Nicepool from “Deadpool & Wolverine” be discussed in court, claiming the role mocks him and paints the couple as bullies.
Justin argues this portrayal damaged his reputation and forced him to hire a crisis management team—not to retaliate against Blake, but to protect himself.
The legal war between Justin and Blake continues to intensify as their breach of contract and retaliation claims head to trial in May, following the dismissal of most of Blake’s original accusations.
With the spotlight now on their combined fortunes and on-screen jabs, this courtroom clash is shaping up to be anything but dull.
