Blake V Justin: Slow dancing, circumcision and famous pals

Available for over a year

Two major developments in the epic legal saga between former co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Lively has responded to Baldoni’s attempt to block the case from going to trial, arguing that a jury should decide. And Baldoni’s sworn deposition has been released. We hear how he responds to her allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation - claims he denies. Host Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty and resident trial attorney Shaun Kent discuss power dynamics, why circumcision appears in the legal filings, and how a slow dance montage could be key. The trial was due to begin in March but has now been pushed back to May because the judge has two criminal trials to oversee. Got questions? Send us a Whatsapp message on 0330 678 111 4.
