What’s more Ferrer – who portrayed a younger version of Blake Lively’s character Lily Bloom in the 2024 romantic drama – has alleged that when she came to request Baldoni’s production company, Wayfarer Studios, pay her legal fees, she didn’t receive anything and was allegedly told she would have to “relinquish control of her response to the Lively subpoena to Wayfarer”.
Her lawyers stated in the court documents: “From that point forward, Baldoni has tried to manipulate, threaten, control and otherwise act inappropriately towards Ms Ferrer.”
They added that it’s “yet another attempt to manipulate the press, to create havoc on a young, up-and-coming and talented actress and to violate this Court’s policies on the publishing of non-party personally identifying information”.
Her team accused Baldoni of bullying her.
They said: “Ms Ferrer has already had to resist Baldoni’s inappropriate conduct in connection with her response to the Lively subpoena.
“Unfortunately, the Motion is just the latest in a broader pattern of conduct by Baldoni to bully Ms Ferrer.
“While Ms Ferrer will faithfully comply with her legal obligations under any subpoena, summons or court order, she obviously will not be intimidated or extorted by any party to otherwise participate in the proceedings.”
Ferrer has asked the court to “deny the Motion in its entirety and impose appropriate sanctions against Baldoni”.
