The shuttering of the foundation comes after Blake accused Baldoni of Sєxually harᴀssing her during filming of It Ends With; seen May 1 arriving to Late Night With Seth Meyers

On Thursday, Blake appeared on Seth Meyer’s Late Night, her first talk show since her legal dispute with Justin began in December.

After Meyers alluded to her conflict with her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin — whom she’s accused of Sєxual harᴀssment — he added, ‘I imagine you’re in a situation where you can’t say anything.’

Blake replied, ‘What I can say without going too into it is that this year has been the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in my life and I see so many women around afraid to speak, especially right now, afraid to share their experiences, and fear is by design.’

‘It’s what keeps us silent. But I also acknowledge that many people don’t have the opportunity to speak.’

‘So I do feel fortunate that I’ve been able to and as a woman, you have the ability to use your voice – that’s kept me strong and helped me in my belief and my fight for the world to be safer for women and girls. It’s a pretty simple thing.’

She and Baldoni are set to head to court in March 2026.

Many fans focused on the fact that she was not wearing her wedding ring during her appearance. Instead, Blake wore a big cocktail ring on the middle finger of her left hand.

The fashionista doesn’t always opt to wear her wedding ring for events, and frequently chooses statement costume jewelry.

While on the show Lively said that her four kids, whom she shares with husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, have been her ‘lifeline’ during her ‘intense’ year.

The pair, who’ve been married since 2012, share daughters James, 10, Inez, eight, Betty, five, and son Olin, two.

Speaking of her kids — who Blake previously claimed were ‘traumatized’ by the Baldoni drama — the star said: ‘It’s no surprise it’s been a pretty intense year and they’re just my lifeline.’

‘No matter what day I am having, I have to be Disneyland for them. It’s the best, it’s chaos.’

Her late show appearance comes after Lively’s legal woes have taken a turn for the worse, as she has now been subpoenaed by Baldoni’s team.

DailyMail.com has learned the papers were handed to her lawyers last week and asks for all communications – including texts and emails – related to Baldoni and the film that sparked the feud, It Ends With Us.

Lively has accused Baldoni of Sєxually harᴀssing her during filming and claims he waged a negative publicity campaign against her.

He subsequently hit back and sued the actress and her husband Ryan for $400million, saying her allegations were defamatory and false, and accusing her of attempting to hijack the project.

The legal battle has already seen some zingers aired in court, among them Baldoni’s claim that she tried to threaten him with Reynolds and erstwhile best friend Taylor Swift – referring to the superstars as ‘my dragons’ and comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Khaleesi.

Lively has also been accused of failing to read the novel on which the movie is based until well after filming started and forcing Baldoni and his family to sit in the basement during the premiere.

On top of that, some of her allegations have begun to look dubious such as the claim that Baldoni had nuzzled her neck and told her ‘you smell so good’ during a dancing scene.

The film at the heart of the feud, based on the 2016 bestseller by Colleen Hoover, was released in August and was a box office hit

Although the mom-of-four claimed it had been filmed with microphones off, DailyMail.com obtained raw footage that showed the sound was on and that the conversation had instead been about the scent of Lively’s fake tan.

Attention has now turned to who else could be subpoenaed in the case, with Reynolds odds-on to have his communications scrutinized by Baldoni’s team.

Last week, speculation arose around Swift and Reynolds’ friend Hugh Jackman with reports saying that they too are facing a legal grilling.

Superstar singer Swift is reportedly furious over being dragged into the case and has not been pH๏τographed with Lively for months.

Last month, her boyfriend Travis Kelce unfollowed Reynolds in yet another sign that relations between the two couples have cooled.
