Judge Denies Blake Lively’s Request to File Additional Briefs After Justin Baldoni Settlement
The judge said the existing record was enough as Lively seeks fees and damages under California law after Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit was dismissed.
- A federal judge denied Blake Lively's request to submit additional briefs regarding her bid for legal fees and damages from Justin Baldoni's dismissed $400 million countersuit.
- Lively argues she is entitled to compensation under a 2023 California law protecting sexual abuse accusers from retaliatory claims, stemming from Baldoni's previously dismissed countersuit.
- Both parties settled their 18-month legal war on Monday without receiving payment, despite spending a combined $60 million on litigation.
- Lawyers for both sides declared the settlement a "resounding victory," while Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman claimed Lively settled because she was "scared" to testify.
- The ruling marks the final chapter of a high-profile Hollywood dispute that blended entertainment attention with serious legal questions, with a definitive decision on legal costs soon to follow.
