Blake Lively Speaks Out on Harassment Case

0:00It's April 3rd. I'm Corey with the story. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Blake Lively just spoke out after a judge tossed her sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni from The Itins With Us set. The 38-year-old actress called herself grateful for the ruling that clears the way for the core of her case to hit a jury next month. She first sued back in December 2024, and the judge also dismissed her fat-shaming accusations against the co-star and director. Still standing are her claims of retaliation, aiding retaliation, and breach of contract. On Friday, Lively hit her Instagram stories to share her thoughts, hitting back hard at the online abuse she's endured through this whole mess. She made it clear she never wanted to drag this into court, but felt pushed by the retaliation she faced after pushing for a safe workplace for everyone on set. Now with trial looming, she's eyeing the chance to lay out her full story, urging others to speak up to while calling digital attacks real abuse.
