Blake’s also expressing concern Justin’s camp is trying to harass her by getting her to walk through paparazzi on her way to the deposition. The horror of an actress walking by cameras.
Back in May, Freedman told us … “If Blake Lively is really serious about testifying for the world to see, let’s live stream it in Madison Square Garden and give the money to the domestic violence survivors.”
The deposition, as we first reported, is set for Thursday in the Big Apple.

Blake’s rep tells TMZ … “Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. Justin Baldoni’s lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden. This is a serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation and it deserves to be treated as such.”
