Legal dispute
Blake Lively calls for millions of lawyers from Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively strikes: The US actress wants millions of Justin Baldoni and relies on a California anti-calling law.
The legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues. The actress demands from her “It ends with us”-Ido director and co-star a multi-million dollar compensation after suing them for defamation. Lively’s lawyers see a baseless legal attack in Baldonis $ 400 million.
In an application submitted on Monday, you are calling for several million dollars for attorney fees and triple compensation for economic, emotional and psychological damage. In addition, they require a replacement for abuse of the legal system.
LIVELY is based on the “Protecting Survivors from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits”-Act that governor Gavin Newsom 2023 signed. According to Lively’s application, the law grants protection against defamation for people who have their experiences with sexual harassment – without fear of legal consequences.
The regulation offers immunity before defamation lawsuits if complainants have one “justified basis” have for their accusations and “without bad intentions” act. Lively’s team argues that these criteria are fulfilled.
Disluency action against Blake Lively dismissed
In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint about sexual harassment against Justin Baldoni, who “Only once more” Directed and played the leading role. It accuses him of misconduct and a revenue -based slander campaign.
Justin Baldoni reacted with a defamation and demanded $ 400 million compensation. A New York court dismissed this in June 2025. The trial against Baldoni for sexual harassment is scheduled for spring 2026.
When rejecting the lawsuit, the judge did not decide whether the California law is applicable to the case. LIVELYS TEAM now calls for a corresponding decision, if necessary followed by a hearing to the amount of damage.
Baldoni’s lawyers vehemently reject the allegations and argue that the law is not applicable. You claim that Lively has her annoyance allegations “completely invented or harmless interactions exaggerated”to first get control over the film and later save their call for unsuccessful marketing campaigns.
