Federal Judge Dismisses Most of Blake Livelys Harassment Claims Against Justin Baldoni; Retaliation Claims Persist
In a recent ruling, a federal judge in New York dismissed most of Blake Livelys sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni from their movie It Ends With Us. However, two retaliation claims remain, setting the stage for a trial starting May 18th. Lively sued Baldoni and others in December 2024, alleging over a dozen accusations. The judge ruled Lively was an independent contractor, not an employee, which disqualifies her harassment claims under the key civil rights law. Baldoni, who denied the harassment from the start, welcomed the ruling as a significant narrowing of the case. Livelys lawyers maintain the case has always been about retaliation for her advocating for a safer set. Baldoni previously countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million over defamation, but that claim was dismissed last June. As the trial approaches, expect more details to emerge, with a focus on accountability in Hollywood.
