Lively&#8217;s team calls these choices clear attempts at hiding evidence before trial.

The alleged campaign ran through <b>2024<\/b> following their creative disagreements on set. <b>Publicist Melissa Nathan<\/b> and <b>Jennifer Abel<\/b> are also named defendants in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Depositions revealed conversations shifted to auto-deleting platforms during <b>2024<\/b>. Lively&#8217;s team argues this wasn&#8217;t coincidental timing. They say it shows consciousness of guilt. The defendants allegedly directed social media messaging after Lively filed initial complaints in <b>December 2024<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy matters legally because intentional destruction suggests the messages contained damaging admissions. Courts can instruct juries to assume destroyed evidence supported the accuser&#8217;s version. This is called an &#8220;adverse inference instruction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The Evidence and Legal Strategy<\/h2>\n<table style='width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 20px 0'>\n<tr style='background-color: #f0f0f0'>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Evidence Type<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Details<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Signal Messages<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Auto-deleting encrypted texts discussing campaign strategy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Voice Memos<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Audio recordings allegedly deleted without preservation steps.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Production Timeline<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Depositions from <b>Katherine Case<\/b> and <b>Breanna Butler<\/b>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>Legal Discovery<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'>12 prior motions filed over document production failures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Lively seeks <b>adverse inference instructions<\/b> that prejudice against the defendants.

Even if messages were innocent chatter, the optics are devastating. Judges and juries understand that people preserve communications they rely on for defense.<\/p>\n<p>Baldoni&#8217;s team hasn&#8217;t directly addressed the Signal allegations yet. They&#8217;ve consistently denied orchestrating any smear campaign. Their position remains that online negativity about Lively was organic. But the new filing complicates that narrative significantly.<\/p>\n<p>The broader legal principle here matters: courts punish spoilation of evidence through adverse inferences. Lively&#8217;s team is essentially asking the judge to assume the destroyed messages proved her allegations. This could effectively end Baldoni&#8217;s retaliation defense before trial even begins.<\/p>\n<h2>When Will Judges Rule on These Destruction Allegations?<\/h2>\n<p>Lively&#8217;s motion was filed on <b>October 22, 2025<\/b>. Baldoni has time to respond with his own filings. The <b>Jonesworks filing<\/b> from publicist <b>Jennifer Abel&#8217;s team<\/b> supports Lively&#8217;s position. Judge <b>Lewis Liman<\/b> will likely schedule hearings before <b>2026 trial<\/b> begins.<\/p>\n<p>This latest development signals the case is entering its critical phase. Discovery violations often carry consequences that reshape litigation outcomes. If Liman grants adverse inferences, Baldoni faces an uncertain path to victory in March proceedings.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Deadline<\/b> &#8211; Comprehensive coverage of Signal app
