According to the filing, Reynolds is expected to testify about the film’s production and promotion, as well as the alleged retaliation and damages at the center of the case.Some are expected to testify via deposition, as Lively’s legal team seeks to spotlight the film’s promotion and what she has alleged is a retaliatory campaign.
Several expert witnesses are also expected to testify, with anticipated testimony on reputational harm, workplace practices and social media activity.
Lively is seeking significant financial damages. According to the filing, her legal team estimates total compensatory damages ranging from roughly $142 million to nearly $300 million. The legal battle surrounding Lively and Baldoni began in December 2024.
