Blake Lively won a significant legal battle against Justin Baldoni when a judge ruled to strike down serious allegations made by Baldoni's attorney that claimed her counsel threatened Taylor Swift regarding the case. The ruling emphasized the accusations were baseless and inflammatory, intended merely to create public scandal. Judge Liman stressed the importance of protecting the court's integrity and preventing any abusive use of its records, which would only serve to propagate false narratives in the press.
It took the court less than 24 hours to see through Mr. Freedman's irrelevant, improper and inflammatory accusations, strike them, remove them from the court and warn Mr. Freedman that further misconduct may be met with sanctions.
The motion is made pursuant to the Court's inherent power to prevent abusive or improper use of its docket.
Retaining the Letter on the docket would be of no use to the Court and would allow the Court's docket to serve as a 'reservoir[] of libelous statements for press consumption.'
