Blake Lively has moved to depose a key player whose crisis management firm Street Relations allegedly played a part in the smear campaign initiated by Justin Baldoni. Lively filed a petition in Texas state court on Jan.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's dispute is moving from the movie set to the courtroom as a trial date is set.

Justin Baldoni is heard apologizing to his co-star Blake Lively in an audio message apparently sent to Lively amid production of their film “It Ends with Us,” long before the two stars launched into a legal battle that continues to play out in the public eye.
