Blake Lively Justin Baldoni Case Dismissed

Judge Lewis Liman threw out 10 of the 13 claims in Lively’s lawsuit, including claims of harassment, defamation, and conspiracy.
Lively accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on set by making unwelcome comments about her appearance and weight.
Baldoni’s team argued that Lively’s allegations about on-set behavior amounted to nothing more than “minor grievances” and that he had a right to defend himself from what he saw as false allegations.
It Ends With Us grossed $350 million worldwide in 2024, but the film’s release was shadowed by persistent rumors of a rift between the two leads, leading to messy litigation.
Taylor Swift has been involved in the dispute, with Swift referring disparagingly to Baldoni in a text message to Lively and Lively calling Baldoni a “clown” and a “doofus director.”
