Judge grants Blake Lively $400,000 of $8M in legal fees she sought in film fight with Justin Baldoni
Confirmed
Blake Lively will get just over $400,000 of the $8 million she sought in legal costs from actor and director Justin Baldoni after they settled their fight over the production of their 2024 film “It Ends With Us,” a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
Thus, the judge ruled, Lively is entitled to $363,245 in attorneys' fees and $44,206 in costs. Lively said in her lawsuit that during filming, Baldoni made inappropriate comments about her appearance, violated physical boundaries while filming a love scene, and pushed for nudity — against Lively’s wishes — during a scene in which her character was giving birth.
Weeks after Lively sued, Baldoni and Wayfarer asserted claims in a countersuit against Lively and her husband, “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds , of civil extortion, defamation, invasion of privacy, breach of good faith and fair dealing and economic interference.
