According to <em>People<\/em> magazine, the court has set limits on the scope of the restrictions Lively had requested. Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled on March 13 that certain confidential materials would be protected, allowing them to be designated as \u201cAttorney\u2019s Eyes Only\u201d if their disclosure could potentially cause significant harm to business, financial, or privacy interests.<\/p>\n<p>This decision comes after Lively\u2019s request on March 6 for stronger safeguards to prevent private information from being leaked to the media or circulated within Hollywood. The judge\u2019s written ruling highlighted the risks of sensitive information being spread through industry gossip, underscoring the need for such protections.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling is likely to spark reactions from online observers, many of whom have been following the drama closely and sharing their opinions. In response to the court\u2019s decision, Lively\u2019s spokesperson stated, \u201cToday, the Court rejected the Wayfarer Parties\u2019 objections and entered the protections needed to ensure the free flow of discovery material without any risk of witness intimidation or harm to any individual\u2019s security.\u201d The spokesperson added that Lively would continue gathering more evidence to support her case as part of the discovery process.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, Baldoni\u2019s attorney, Bryan Freedman, issued a statement expressing support for the court\u2019s decision to protect private records, including mental health information and personal security details, which they had no interest in accessing. However, he criticized Lively\u2019s request for an overly broad range of documents covering a two-and-a-half-year period, which the court rejected. Freedman emphasized that Baldoni\u2019s team remains focused on obtaining communications that they believe will directly challenge Lively\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni\u2019s ongoing legal drama has taken a new turn, with Lively being granted a modified protective\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":64566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[458],"class_list":["post-64565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-blake-lively"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
