A deposition transcript from the highly publicized legal dispute between Blake Lively and his “It End’s With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni Revealed that she used to call her home office “Buckingham Palace”. Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and several others at Wayfarer Studios in December 2024, accusing them of sexual harassment – claims he has reportedly denied.
Blake Lively reportedly called the office ‘Buckingham Palace’ because ‘celebrities used to walk through there’
On 14th January, People Published a report stating that Justin Baldoni appeared for testimony in Los Angeles on October 6, 2025. According to a transcript of the testimony filed in court, the 41-year-old filmmaker reportedly revealed the names of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively for his home office in Manhattan, New York City.
Baldoni claimed, “As she said, she called it Buckingham Palace, because so many celebrities passed by. I think that was her office in her penthouse apartment, that’s where Ms. Lively requested all of our meetings.”
The above Manhattan apartment has come up before in Lively and Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle. The director claimed that during a meeting at the apartment, Reynolds scolded him for allegedly “fat-shaming” Lively. During another statement, the ‘Con Man’ actor admitted that he told Lively that he was circumcised during a meeting for their film, ‘It Ends With Us’.
The “Gossip Girl” star was pregnant with her fourth child at the time. According to the deposition transcript, when his attorney asked Baldoni if he had asked her the question directly, he replied, “Directly, no.” He also said that when he gave this information, other people were also present around him.
In January 2025, Baldoni’s attorney filed a $400 million counter-suit against Reynolds and Lively, alleging extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy. A judge dismissed the suit but allowed them to re-file some charges regarding interference with contracts. Meanwhile, Lively’s case will go to trial in May 2026.
