Blake Lively declares 'total victory' over Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively's team is celebrating a win after Justin Baldoni decided not to refile his $400 million countersuit against her and husband Ryan Reynolds. 

Lively had accused Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and organizing a smear campaign against her.

Lively's rep released a statement saying, "The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni-Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety. In the days that followed, Baldoni’s lawyer said the judge’s decision to dismiss their case was not a big deal as they promised to amend and refile it. As per usual, that was not true. The Court’s dismissal of Baldoni’s sham lawsuit was a total victory after all."

Despite the dismissal, Baldoni's lawyer announced that they will be pursuing additional legal options. "Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us," the lawyer said.

Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni is still ongoing, and Baldoni's legal team is attempting to obtain her private conversations with a famous friend. The case is set to go to trial in March 2026.
