Baldoni Wins Time in Lively Defamation Suit

0:00On March 26th, Justin Baldoni just picked up a small win in his legal fight with Blake Lively from the movie It Ends With Us. The 42-year-old director and actor got extra time from a judge to handle pre-trial paperwork after Lively's team sent over almost 1,000 potential exhibits. Earlier this week, Baldoni's side asked for a one-week delay on filings and pushed back the final pre-trial conference calling the actresses. Submissions overwhelming and not useful for trial. Lively, 37, sued Baldoni and others last year, claiming sexual harassment and retaliation on set, which he denies. Baldoni fired back with his own suit against her and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation, but a judge tossed that one out. Now the judge has set a status conference for April 2nd to sort things out. Both stars are expected to take to stand if the trial kicks off in mid-May as planned. With tensions still high and no settlement in sight, this Hollywood class shows no signs of wrapping up anytime soon.
