Blake Lively Demands Justin Baldoni Say if He’ll Testify at Trial, with No Sign of Settlement in Case
A judge tossed most of Lively’s claims, leaving breach of contract and retaliation allegations for a jury as both sides prepare to testify.
- Legal teams for actress Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni reportedly declined a last-minute settlement attempt on Monday, ahead of the May 18 trial following a federal judge's Thursday decision to dismiss 10 of 13 allegations.
- Lively filed the lawsuit in December 2024, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation on the 'It Ends With Us' set; Baldoni vehemently denied all allegations, claiming he resolved her concerns immediately.
- Last Thursday, Federal Judge Lewis Liman dismissed sexual harassment, defamation, and conspiracy claims on jurisdictional grounds; breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting allegations remain for trial.
- Baldoni's legal team stated they are "very pleased the Court dismissed all sexual harassment claims," while Lively vowed on Instagram to "never stop doing my part in fighting to expose the systems and people who seek to harm, shame, silence and retaliate against victims."
- Lively expressed gratitude that the court's ruling allows "the heart of my case to be presented to a jury next month," as the upcoming May 18 trial will assess remaining breach of contract and retaliation claims.
