Justin Baldoni's legal win against Blake Lively
Reportedly, Judge Lewis Liman dismissed the majority of the allegations against Baldoni in April 2026, significantly narrowing the lawsuit brought by Lively following the It Ends With Us production. While the sexual harassment claims were dropped, a jury trial is still set for May 18, 2026, for the remaining retaliation and breach of contract claims.
Earlier in March 2026, it was reported that Baldoni secured a victory allowing his production company, Wayfarer Studios, to proceed with a defamation suit against a former publicist.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, welcomed the dismissal, saying that "the defendants were not afraid of the truth". Originally filed in December 2024, the lawsuit also names executives from Wayfarer Studios and associated PR teams. Several other high-profile figures, including Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds and singer Taylor Swift, have been mentioned in the case. Despite the setback, Lively has made it clear that she will not stop fighting.
