Blake Lively is stirring the pot in her upcoming trial against Justin Baldoni by asking the court to keep her and Ryan Reynolds’wealth under wraps. In the midst of her claims against Baldoni, which include losing a jaw-dropping $161 million due to an alleged smear campaign, her legal team believes that exposing their financial status would detract from the legitimacy of her claims. After all, who wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if a Hollywood superstar started talking about financial hardships?
Interestingly, despite the potential for dramatics, the judge recently dismissed Lively’s defamation claim, keeping the courtroom drama at a simmer. With the trial set for May 18th, Blake and Ryan are gearing up for what’s sure to be an intriguing courtroom battle. So will the revelation of their wealth lead the jury to view her claims as just another rich person’s sob story? Only time will tell, but it seems Lively’s latest strategy might just add another layer to her star-studded saga.
