Blake Lively moves to secure the order of protection against Justin Baldoni
In the midst of their legal battle with Baldoni, the actress of “Gossip Girl” and her husband are looking for a protective order to keep their conversations with private celebrities.
During a hearing before the Manhattan Federal Court on Thursday, lawyer Meryl Conant Governski said that the couple wanted a protective prescription to disclose conversations with “high -level” people on the time of Lively on “It ends with us” because they fear that Baldoni can flee from the press.
The lawyer explained before the court that these texts would have a high “public relations value”, whether or not relevant for the case.
“There is an important chance of irreparable damage if marginal conversations with people of high level without relevance for the case were to fall into bad hands,” said Governsi New York Post.

Who are the “high -level” people who could be trained in the legal drama?
Although no name has been mentioned in their request to keep their private conversations, the Hollywood couple has close links with stars on list A like Taylor Swift, Hugh Jackman, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski and the Gigi Hadid model.
Swift has apparently been trained in the case while Baldoni alleged that Lively was called Khaleesi of “Game of Thrones” and referred to her husband and the “empty” attachment like “My Dragons”.
The global popstar would be assigned to assign to provide testimonies, but legal experts think that its continuous silence “says a lot”.
The silence of Taylor Swift “ says long ”
Public relations expert Adrienne Uthe spoke of the probability that Swift will be drawn into the legal quarrel of Baldoni and Lively.
“Taylor has moved publicly from that-and I understand why. She probably hopes to stay entirely outside the mess,” he said Fox News. “But that is not reality. Whether you like it or not, people want to hear its testimony. It remains silent because nothing good has just been involved – and honestly, which would like if they were in its position? But its silence also says a lot.”
“She seems to be aligned with powerful players of Hollywood – and that tarnishes the image of” good girl “that many of her fans have kept,” added Uthe.

“People remain strategically silent for many reasons, and of course, some stars just want to avoid the press – I respect this. But for someone as well warned of the media as Taylor Swift to stay away from that? That says a lot. And frankly, we all want to hear his side,” added the public relations expert.
