A federal judge has rejected Justin Baldoni's request for an extension to question Taylor Swift in his lawsuit against Blake Lively. Judge Lewis Liman denied the motion because Baldoni's team couldn't demonstrate sufficient reasons for the extension.
The judge criticized Baldoni's production company for not properly explaining their efforts to schedule the deposition, noting that the discovery process had been ongoing for six months. Baldoni's lawyers claimed Swift had agreed to be questioned between October 20-25, but Swift's legal team disputed this, stating she has consistently maintained no significant role in the legal action.
The lawsuit originated from Lively's sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni during their film production, leading to counter-lawsuits that were later dismissed.
