Justin Baldoni accused of bullying by It Ends With Us co-star Isabela Ferrer amid legal battle with Blake Lively

Actress Blake Lively broke her silence as she celebrated a major legal victory in her legal case against Justin Baldoni. On Monday, a judge dismissed Baldoni's $650 million lawsuit against her, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times. In a post on her Instagram, Lovely said she had felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, adding that she will continue to stand for women's rights.<h2>Blake Lively reacts</h2>Soon after the judge dismissed Baldioni's lawsuit against her, Lively took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organisations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back." The 37-year-old star added, “I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story. There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organisations below for resources and information. With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.” Lively also shared a list of organisations for relevant resources and information along with her post, including California Employment Lawyers Association, Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, and Equal Rights Advocates.<h2>Justin Baldoni’s suit dismissed&nbsp;</h2> On Monday, It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni faced a major legal blow as a judge dismissed his countersuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, along with his defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. The court’s decision ends the director’s $650 million legal battle, accusing them of extortion and defamation. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Blake Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, described the decision as a “total victory and a complete vindication“for the actress and others who "Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times”. &nbsp;The ruling adds a twist to the much-publicised legal battle between Lively and Baldoni. While Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and later a social media smear campaign during the promotions of It Ends With Us, Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, accusing the Hollywood stars of trying to destroy his reputation by accusing him of sexual harassment. It Ends With Us featured Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in the lead. The film was produced by Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, while Baldoni directed the film.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Blake Lively breaks her silence as judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against her: 'I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit'

In a major legal setback, Justin Baldoni has had two high-profile lawsuits dismissed, one against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, and another against The New York Times.On Monday (June 9), Judge Lewis J. Liman granted motions to dismiss both the $400 million countersuit filed by Baldoni and his company Wayfarer Studios, and the $250 million defamation suit against the Times.<h2>Judge says allegations lacked legal backing</h2>Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties had accused Lively and Reynolds of extortion and defamation, while also claiming the Times made defamatory statements. However, Judge Liman ruled that the claims did not meet the legal threshold required.According to the judge’s order, the allegations against Lively were based only on statements made in her CRD (Civil Rights Division) complaint, which are legally privileged and therefore cannot form the basis of a defamation case.“The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged,” the judge stated in the official court filing obtained by PEOPLE.<h2>Claims against Reynolds, publicist and Times also dismissed</h2>The judge also dismissed claims against Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and the Times, noting that Baldoni’s legal team had not shown that any of them acted with actual malice, a key requirement in defamation cases.“There was no allegation that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them,” the court order read.The judge concluded that the entire amended complaint must be dismissed, although Baldoni’s lawyers have been allowed to revise and resubmit certain claims, including breach of implied covenant and tortious interference, by 23 June.<h2>Lively had earlier dropped some claims</h2>This decision follows an earlier development in the same legal battle. Blake Lively had withdrawn two emotional distress claims against Baldoni after his legal team asked her to submit medical records to support her case.While her lawyers described the move as a “routine” effort to streamline the case, Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman criticised the actress in March. He said, “Her attempt to try and dismiss herself from the self-concocted disaster she initiated is one of the most abhorrent examples of abusing our legal system.”

Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and NYT off the hook in Justin Baldoni’s $650M lawsuits — Here’s why the judge tossed them out

Nearly 6 months after she first filed a lawsuit against filmmaker-actor Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively is seeking drop a major claim against him. Lively is dropping her claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress against Baldoni. According to reports, Blake requested to withdraw and dismiss her claims on June 2.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h2>Twist in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's case &nbsp;</h2>The move comes after Justin’s legal team sought discovery that included her medical records in their efforts to defend the It Ends With Us director against her claim. Blake has claimed that she suffered “severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment, belittlement, frustration and mental anguish”. &nbsp;Justin’s team are now seeking to compel the actor to sign a HIPAA release for access to therapy notes and other relevant information. &nbsp;Instead, the court filings claim that Lively decided to withdraw claims of emotional distress without prejudice.&nbsp;“Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs, Ms. Lively’s counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms. Lively is withdrawing her claims,” read the filing. &nbsp;Doing so means that Blake is refusing “to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress” and seeks to “maintain the right to re-file her (infliction of emotional distress claims) at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed… Ms. Lively cannot have it both ways”. &nbsp;<h2>A press stunt? &nbsp;</h2>Meanwhile, Blake’s lawyers, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, called the filing by Baldoni’s team “a press stunt” and noted that they are merely “streamlining and focusing” her case. The court will now need to decide whether to compel Blake to share the information on her mental health, which she has sought to avoid, or dismiss the two claims with or without prejudice.<h2>Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni</h2>The conflict began in December 2024, when Blake filed a sexual-harassment complaint against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, alleging misconduct and a retaliatory smear campaign, which he has denied.&nbsp; &nbsp;Baldoni countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicists in January, alleging extortion, defamation and more. Both cases are scheduled for trial in March 2026.
