Baldoni has consistently denied all allegations.
Alexander’s testimony is just one piece in a case that has seen multiple documents and depositions become public in recent weeks.
A Ride That Turned Uncomfortable
Alexander detailed in the deposition how he drove Lively, Baldoni, and Lively’s assistant Sophia Travaglia from Lively’s New York apartment to a production office in New Jersey.
The ride lasted around 20 to 25 minutes, during which Alexander said he overheard Baldoni discussing his sexual history with women.
The driver described the conversation as “disturbing” and said it left him so uncomfortable that it distracted him from driving.
