Blake Lively Just Won BIG Against Justin Baldoni... But This Drama Isn’t Over Yet 🔥 If you thought the drama between It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni couldn’t get messier, buckle up. A federal judge just tossed out Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloane. The court ruled the defamation and extortion claims didn’t hold up legally, calling it out for what Lively’s team said it was from the start: a sham. And they didn’t stop there—they’re now gunning for attorneys’ fees and damages against Baldoni and his team for launching what they call “abusive litigation.”
This all started with Lively accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on the It Ends With Us set, which led to a full-on PR and legal war. Baldoni fired back with lawsuits of his own, even dragging Taylor Swift into it by subpoena—claiming she was involved behind the scenes, something her reps shut down immediately. The judge has now dismissed Baldoni’s case, but gave him until June 23 to refile parts of it. Lively’s camp, meanwhile, is not backing down and seems fully ready to keep swinging in court next March.
What’s wild is how this once-hyped BookTok film has turned into one of Hollywood’s messiest legal sagas. It’s not just about on-set drama anymore—it's grown into a case about power, PR, reputation, and who really gets to control a narrative. From public smear campaigns to deleted texts and even Marvel shade in Deadpool & Wolverine, this thing has more plot twists than the movie ever did.
While Lively may have won this round, the next court battle is still coming. And knowing how loud this has already gotten, the next headlines are probably just one court date or celebrity subpoena away.
