Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Appear in Court Together for First Time Amid Legal Battle

The dispute involves $500 million in claims over sexual harassment and defamation, with a May 18 trial date set after a failed settlement attempt in federal court.

  • Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation related to their film project and seeking nearly $500 million in damages.
  • Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively and others, which was dismissed by a US judge in June 2025.
  • Lively and Baldoni appeared together in court for the first time during a confidential settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave, but no resolution was reached.
  • Both parties were accompanied by legal teams and left court without speaking to the media.
