Judge Dismisses Justin Baldoni’s $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively

A U.S. judge on Monday dismissed actor Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against actress Blake Lively. The case stemmed from Lively’s allegations that Baldoni sexually harassed her during the filming of the 2024 movie It Ends with Us. The court found insufficient grounds for the defamation claim to proceed, effectively siding with Lively. The ruling marks a significant development in the high-profile dispute, which has drawn widespread attention in both Hollywood and the public.
