Episode Details

Blake Lively is seeking legal fees and triple damages from Justin Baldoni after his defamation lawsuit against her was dismissed — citing a new California law meant to protect harassment survivors from retaliatory suits. Baldoni’s team argues the law can’t override jury trial rights and that since Lively dropped her claims, she’s ineligible for compensation. The feud stems from Baldoni’s January 2025 countersuit to Lively’s allegations of sexual harassment on “It Ends with Us,” which the judge tossed in June 2025. Lively’s camp highlights her win in dismissing Baldoni’s $400 million suit — which also involved Ryan Reynolds and The New York Times — as proof of her case’s merit. Though the main legal battle settled before trial, this financial dispute shows the courtroom drama isn’t fully over.
