Blake Energetic and Ryan Reynolds are doing just tremendous.
Energetic, 37, shared a smiling selfie together with her husband of nearly 13 years via Instagram Story on Sunday, March 16. Alongside the selfie, she also shared three photos of cookies and cupcakes resembling horses that the family baked together.
Energetic captioned certainly one of the snaps, “The family that bakes together… stays sick on buttercream together.”
It appears Energetic and Reynolds, 48, are specializing in spending quality time together amid an ongoing legal battle with Energetic’s It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. Each parties have issued statements as they wait for a judge to rule on Energetic’s request for a stronger protective order.
During a March 6 hearing, Energetic’s legal team accused Baldoni’s lawyers of getting “created improper disclosure of data.”
“We would like to stop the general public publication of this information, within the case, during discovery. The principles try and stop the burden to be on the third parties,” the actress’ lawyer said in the course of the hearing. “We should always not make the handfuls of third parties run to the court for defense. We’re speculated to reduce the burden on third parties. He should drop the third-party subpoena against the safety firm that protects Energetic and Reynolds.”
Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lead attorney, disputed the claims.
“These are matters of ‘for attorney’s eyes only’ restrictions,” Freedman said on Thursday. “This can be a case where nobody has any intention of harming Ms. Energetic in any way. She detailed the sexual harassment claims and put that on the market. My clients have been adjudicated as guilty right when this was filed. My client has a right to fight back and to defend himself. We would like to conform to the protective order and place the burden on the party, who wants greater protection, to go to court and be transparent.”
Energetic’s team can also be attempting to guard “high-profile individuals” with whom she can have spoken or otherwise corresponded about her experiences with Baldoni.
“There’s a major likelihood of irreparable harm if marginal conversations with high-profile individuals with no relevance to the case were to fall into flawed hands,” her attorney claimed.
Freedman appeared unmoved by the claim. “We cannot treat celebrity people, and people who find themselves powerful within the industry in another way from other people,” he responded.
Energetic and Reynolds requested a stronger PO in February.
“As detailed in Ms. Energetic’s Amended Criticism, Ms. Energetic, her family, other members of the solid, various fact witnesses, and individuals which have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Energetic have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications,” a letter from Energetic and Reynolds, noting Energetic was in search of “additional protections.”
