For Don Lemon, the most interesting part of the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni beef is Justin’s defamation lawsuit against the New York Times … and he hopes it sparks change.

We got Don in NYC and our photog asked him about the story that’s all the rage in Hollywood … Blake vs. Baldoni.

Don tells us his East Coast bias kept him from giving the “It Ends With Us” drama much thought until he got to Hollywood … but he says the part that’s really fascinating is Justin’s defamation claim against The Gray Lady.

There’s a landmark SCOTUS case Don cites here — look it up, folks — and he hopes the Baldoni lawsuit changes the way media operates in this country.

Marcus Jordan‘s combativeness with authorities apparently continued well after he was arrested on Tuesday morning … cause a new police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, states he belligerently demanded officers play Mariah Carey tunes while he was locked up.

Jordan was taken to a DUI testing facility in Orange County, Fla. a short time after he was placed into custody following allegations he drunkenly got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on some Maitland train tracks … and cops say he acted like a jerk the entire time he was there.

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office documents we obtained, Jordan refused to take breath tests … and “aggressively and repeatedly” pulled away from officers.

Officials also allege in the documents that Marcus fidgeted “constantly,” “talked incessantly,” and got “agitated and confrontational when given commands or asked questions.”

Additionally, cops say the 34-year-old Jordan was upset about the music situation at the facility … claiming at one point he told them, “Can’t you play some holiday music or some s***?” before adding, “Play some Mariah Carey up in this bitch.”

Marcus also allegedly called the process a “f***in’ joke” … and stated, “Gonna line those f***in’ highways and get them quotas n***a.”

Jordan had demonstrated similar behavior prior to being in custody … as police body cam video showed him quarreling with officers after they administered field sobriety tests on him near the scene of his Lamborghini accident.

Jordan could be seen in the video trying to physically get away from cops. He could also be heard singing along to the officers’ radio as they transported him to a nearby jail.

Blake Lively‘s legal headaches are getting worse … the actress is now being sued by a crisis PR firm for defamation in her ongoing lawsuit battle with Justin Baldoni, TMZ has learned.

Blake was slapped with a new lawsuit by Jed Wallace and his company, Street Relations Inc., after she named both parties along with Baldoni in her December 2024 California civil rights complaint for bad behavior related to the filming of “It Ends With Us.”

Wallace accuses Blake of falsely lumping his firm into the allegations she made against Baldoni, and then sending the information to various media outlets, including Elle Magazine. Despite the fact that Blake did not name Wallace or Street Relations in the lawsuit she filed just days later, and he says the damage was done and the media continued to report he had engaged in illegal activity.
