Blake Lively accuses Justin Baldoni's lawyers of 'PR stunt' in court filing
Tensions between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni hit a new peak this week after the A Simple Favor star's lawyers accused Baldoni's legal team of trying to 'force' a sealed deposition into the public eye. According to People, the ongoing legal feud stems from disputes tied to the film It Ends With Us, but Monday's court filing pulled focus squarely onto what Lively's team is calling a deliberate attempt to weaponize the media. Blake Lively has accused her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation.(AP) In the August 4 motion, Lively's attorneys asked a federal judge to strike a 292-page draft transcript of her recent deposition, which Baldoni's lawyers uploaded to the docket, even though only two pages were cited. 'There is no conceivable legal purpose to file the whole transcript,' the filing states, adding that the version uploaded had not even been finalized or corrected. Also read: Blake Lively deposition date revealed as legal battle with Justin Baldoni take an interesting turn Her team says the move was a calculated PR stunt designed to paint Lively as evasive and manipulate public perception. The filing accuses Baldoni's camp of acting more like 'PR agents' than legal counsel, adding they had given "a manufactured excuse to force the transcript into the public domain." Lawyers call it a 'media campaign,' not a legal move As per People, the motion alleges Baldoni's attorneys are baiting Lively into fighting to keep the transcript sealed, so they can spin a narrative that she's hiding something. Her lawyers argued the claim was "entirely untrue and deeply harmful.' They say she has always been prepared to testify in court-just not trial by tabloid. 'Ms. Lively affirmatively pursued this litigation with the full intention and desire to have her testimony heard in a legal process, governed by the rules of evidence. To suggest otherwise is part of an ongoing character attack,' they wrote. The July 31 deposition was held at Lively's attorney's office in Manhattan. Baldoni attended in person, despite an earlier protective order giving her team control over the location and notice of attendees. Her lawyers say press reports about the meeting-down to her outfit-surfaced almost instantly, which they allege was no coincidence. Also read: Justin Baldoni clarifies '$650 million lawsuit against Blake Lively thrown out' claims, reveals what's really happened Accusations, countersuits, and a trial date in 2026 Lively, 37, has accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and retaliation. He has denied the claims. In turn, Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, accusing them of defamation and extortion. That suit was tossed in June, and his team opted not to refile, reports People. Despite that, the battle is not close to over. A trial is set for March 2026, with both expected to testify under oath. FAQs Why is Blake Lively suing Justin Baldoni? She's accused him of sexual harassment and retaliation tied to their work on It Ends With Us. What did Baldoni's lawyers do with her deposition? They filed a rough 292-page draft of it in court, which Lively's team says was an unnecessary and harmful move. Was the $400 million countersuit dismissed? Yes, Baldoni's countersuit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds was dismissed in June. When will the trial take place? A trial is currently scheduled for March 2026.

Netflix cancels Arnold Schwarzenegger's Fubar following underwhelming Season 2 viewership despite star power
Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series 'Fubar' will not be returning for a third season on Netflix, the streamer confirmed, a little over a month after Season 2 debuted on June 12. The decision comes after what was described as a surprisingly soft return for the show. Though the first season launched with significant buzz in May 2023—buoyed by Schwarzenegger's global popularity—its second season failed to capture similar momentum. Monica Barbaro, who co-stars as Schwarzenegger's on-screen daughter Emma and became an Oscar nominee in between seasons for 'A Complete Unknown', also returned for Season 2. Season 2, released more than two years after Season 1, managed only a brief appearance in Netflix's English-language Top 10. During its launch weekend, the show earned 2.2 million views, a steep drop from the 11 million views that greeted its premiere season. It peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3 million views and barely held onto the #10 spot in Week 3 with 1.8 million, before vanishing from the rankings. The story of 'Fubar' centres on CIA operative Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger) and his daughter Emma (Barbaro), who each lead double lives while unknowingly working for the same agency. Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, with neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative.' The cancellation places 'Fubar' among a short list of Netflix originals dropped in 2025, including 'The Recruit', 'Pulse', and 'The Residence'. Nevertheless, the platform has renewed around 20 scripted series this year alone, with recent greenlights for 'Untamed' Season 2, 'Tires' Season 3, 'Ransom Canyon' Season 2, and 'Virgin River' Season 8.

BTS faces backlash over alleged Michael Jackson collaboration: ‘Literally no one wants this'
BTS may be about to enter their most controversial decade to date. According to reports, the South Korean supergroup is working on a top-secret tribute project as they get ready for their reunion: recording an unreleased song that was originally written for Michael Jackson . The song was recorded during Jackson's 2006 stay in Ireland at the Grouse Lodge studio, where he worked on an unfinished album. Paddy Dunning, the owner of the studio, recently disclosed that BTS came to re-record one of those long-lost songs there last year. "The sessions started last year, and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs," Dunning said in an interview with The Irish Sun. "There are about ten more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project." In addition to the music, Dunning revealed that a documentary about Jackson's contented life in Ireland with his kids is currently in development. 'Michael's estate told me to plough ahead with this because, like me, they see it as a tribute to Michael. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cesar Millan Reveals What Honey Does to Your Aging Dog Experts In Pet Health Learn More Undo And for the documentary, we're going to get everyone's memories of working with Michael in Ireland," he continued. During a trip to the United States, the owner even had the opportunity to meet Prince, Jackson's oldest son. Prince allegedly stated that he, Paris, and Blanket hope to visit the studio again in the future as they discussed the family's stay at Grouse Lodge. Netizens are not overjoyed Although the partnership is being marketed as a tribute, online responses seem to indicate otherwise. While many fans are excited, many others are suspicious, if not outright annoyed. One user on X questioned, "Have Michael Jackson's family and estate approved of this?" Another user commented, "I don't have anything against them, but their style/sound has nothing in common with MJ... This song will NOT be good.' "They're so desperate, oh my goodness," one fan commented, while another added, "If anyone had the honor of this, it should have been Gaga. " One user questioned, "Who asked for this, no shade?" while another said bluntly, "They're not even close to Michael Jackson's level, mind you… so that's a lot of nerve.' Some were even more severe. One person said, "This is so disrespectful; we need to cancel BTS now." Another said, 'They're going to ruin it.' 'Literally no one wants this. K-pop, stop biting off of other artists challenge!', according to another comment. Another said, 'They're doing anything for a comeback clearly.' "Who are they to even touch Michael Jackson's music?" said another. It's undeniable that BTS has always admired Jackson, even in spite of the criticism. In many respects, their English hit song Dynamite was a visual and vocal tribute to the King of Pop. In addition, the group has consistently stated that he is an inspiration to them, even receiving an honorary mention in his documentary Thriller 40 (2023). Time (and streaming numbers) will tell if this new project turns out to be a musical misstep or a heartfelt tribute, but it might just be an extension of that same respect.
