Show Notes
Blake Livelys legal battle against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios takes a significant turn as a New York federal judge dismisses ten of her thirteen claims, including harassment and defamation. The judge ruled that Lively was an independent contractor, not an employee, which impacted the legal standing of some of her claims. However, three claims, including breach of contract and retaliation under Californias Fair Employment and Housing Act against Wayfarer Studios, remain. The case is set to go to trial on May 18, 2026, with Lively seeking over $160 million in damages. The narrowed showdown continues to generate drama and spotlight online attacks in Hollywood.
