About this episode

Federal Judge Dismisses Some Claims in Blake Livelys Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni: Trial for Retaliation and Reputational Harm Moves Forward

Blake Livelys lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni has seen a significant development as a federal judge in New York dismissed several claims, including on-set misconduct and sexual harassment allegations. However, the parts about retaliation and reputational harm are moving forward to trial next month. Lively, who sued after facing what she says was payback for pushing for a safe set for everyone, has expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to spotlight systems that silence people who speak up about misconduct. Baldonis lawyers, on the other hand, are thrilled that the court tossed the serious harassment claims against him and his team, stating that the case is now narrower and they are ready to defend the rest in court. With trial just weeks away, Lively is set to lay out her full story, which could shine a real light on power plays behind the scenes in film.
