Blake Lively is seeking to extend her legal battle against Justin Baldoni by requesting additional time to present all materials to the court.
On Tuesday, the “Gossip Girl” alum filed a letter to the court, saying that she would have trouble meeting the June 22 deadline she was given to file her initial brief on the “appropriate measure of fees” that Baldoni would owe her due to her hectic schedule.
“One of Ms. Lively’s lead attorneys, Mr. Gottlieb, who will need to review and approve any billing submissions and sign any affidavit on behalf of the Willkie firm, is currently out of the country,” the doc stated.
The actress requested “an additional seven days” to submit her initial brief.
The newest filing comes two weeks after Lively, 38, took Baldoni, 42, back to court after they settled their explosive legal battle.
Lively requested that her “It Ends With Us” co-star cover her legal fees and costs from the defamation case — which was thrown out last November.
The court has to assess how much the dad of two will pay.
In May, Lively settled her 2024 suit against Baldoni, in which the actress claimed the actor sexually harassed her on the set of “It Ends With Us.”
The “A Simple Favor” is now plotting a Hollywood comeback.
