The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is still in motion nearly a year after it was initiated. As of late, the two actors – who starred together in the 2024 film It Ends with Us – have seen their share of wins and losses amid the proceedings. Baldoni just recently saw a setback after a ruling made by a federal judge. As the skirmish rages on, there’s been a notable development within Baldoni’s camp and, due to this turn of events, his situation with Lively now has a key link to the ongoing legal issues of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Justin Baldoni (41) reportedly just made a change to his legal team by adding New York-based attorney Alexandra Shapiro, per court records seen by People. What’s notable about this is that Shapiro has also served as one of Diddy’s lawyers and remains a member of his team. As of this writing, Shapiro herself has not spoken out publicly about joining Justin Baldoni’s legal defense team and whether or not she will do so remains to be seen.
