Zealous Advocacy or Sanctionable Conduct? What's Really Going on in Lively v. Baldoni

from Ask 2 Lawyers · host Albertson & Davidson, LLP

We’re back on the Blake Lively v. Justin Baldoni defamation lawsuit—and this time, we’re diving deep into the lawyers behind the headlines. We’re talking about Bryan Freedman (for Baldoni), Esra Hudson (for Lively), and Samantha Katze (from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP), who issued the subpoena to Stephanie Jones. Is this just tough advocacy—or has someone crossed a legal or ethical line? Join the jury pool as we dig into the filings, the tactics, and the courtroom strategy. As always, we’re real lawyers breaking it down in real time—no fluff, just legal facts and hot takes. Let’s talk sanctions, subpoenas, and serious strategy. — Learn more about our law firm: https://www.aldavlaw.com  Follow us on social media: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aldavlaw  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldavlaw  Twitter: https://twitter.com/aldavlaw  #BlakeLively #JustinBaldoni #BryanFreedman #EsraHudson #LegalDrama #RealLawyersReact #Ask2Lawyers #Defamation #MeTooLaw #Section471 #Subpoena
