Baldoni's $400 Million Lawsuit Against Blake Lively Dismissed

A US federal judge dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, on June 10, 2025. Baldoni's suit alleged that Lively and Reynolds intentionally damaged his reputation by making false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation on the set of the movie "It Ends With Us." Lively's legal team stated they would continue to pursue their countersuit against Baldoni. In an Instagram post, Lively stated, "like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back." The case highlights the challenges faced by individuals in high-profile legal battles and the potential for reputational damage in the entertainment industry. The ongoing countersuit suggests that the legal battle is far from over.
