A newly public deposition has intensified scrutiny of the long-running dispute between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, after court filings revealed that Baldoni told Lively he was circumcised during a December 2022 meeting at her New York City apartment. The conversation, which reportedly took place while Lively was pregnant with her son, emerged in an October deposition filed on December 4, 2025.According to reports by Page Six on December 4, 2025, Lively’s attorney questioned Baldoni extensively about why he volunteered intimate information while lobbying her to join It Ends With Us.The detail has sparked widespread online reaction, including commentary from podcaster Zack Peter, who argued that the exchange was being taken out of context and “clearly wasn’t creepy enough” to stop Lively from signing onto the film."Justin Baldoni disclosed this detail. It clearly wasn't creepy enough for Blake to not sign on to the film or for Ryan Reynolds to prevent her from signing on to a film with such a creep because they still decided to sign on to the movie. So, happened a long time ago, was in relation to her pregnancy and the birth of her baby boy"What the deposition revealed about the 2022 conversation between Justin Baldoni and Blake LivelyAccording to Page Six’s review of the October deposition, the topic surfaced during what began as a professional discussion about Blake Lively potentially playing Lily in the 2024 film It Ends With Us. Lively was “very pregnant,” and Justin Baldoni reportedly recalled that the conversation shifted to her unborn son and whether he would be circumcised.When attorney Michael J. Gottlieb asked if the subject was discussed, Baldoni reportedly replied, “Yes.” When asked if he told Lively he himself was circumcised, he reportedly again answered, “Yes.”According to Page Six, Justin Baldoni said Blake Lively did not “directly” ask about his own circumcision status and did not give a clear reason for sharing it. He emphasized that the exchange occurred in a crowded room: Ryan Reynolds was “in and out,” while nannies, a housekeeper, and assistants were present throughout.The meeting took place months before Blake Lively ultimately signed onto the film and before production began in 2023. Their professional relationship later deteriorated, leading to dueling lawsuits, public accusations, and efforts by both sides to have claims dismissed.Pop Base @PopBaseLINKA judge has set a March 9, 2026 date for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to go on trial. The date could be canceled if both sides reach a settlement before then, Variety reports.The resurfaced exchange between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively is one component of the larger legal battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars. As Page Six reported on December 4, 2025, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department in December 2024, later followed by a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, defamation, and related claims tied to It Ends With Us.Justin Baldoni denied wrongdoing and countersued Lively and Ryan Reynolds in January 2025 for $400 million, though that suit was dismissed over the summer and formally closed in October.Most recently, Justin Baldoni filed a motion asking the judge to toss Lively’s $161 million lawsuit, arguing she cannot substantiate her allegations. Lively’s latest filing, submitted in early December, insists she deserves her “day in court,” setting up the next stage in a case that has already produced unusually personal testimony and public reaction. The hearing in the case is scheduled for March 2026.
