"Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of "It Ends with Us" and accusing both Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios of engaging in a "social manipulation" campaign to "destroy" her reputation. The two later filed lawsuits against each other in New York with Lively reiterating the claims made in her earlier complaint and further accusing Baldoni retaliation, suing him for nearly $500 million in damages."
"Lively, Baldoni and their attorneys are attending a closed-door settlement hearing designed to bring an end to the legal battle that dates back to December 2024. According to court documents, each side will make a 10-15 minute presentation during the conference summarizing the issues attorneys believe are important for the opposing party to consider. The judge will then meet separately with each side in private."
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni attended a federal settlement conference in New York related to legal disputes that began in December 2024. The closed-door hearing will include 10-15 minute presentations by each side, followed by private meetings with the judge. Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department alleging sexual harassment on the set of It Ends with Us and accusing Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios of a social-manipulation campaign to destroy her reputation. Lively later sued Baldoni in New York seeking nearly $500 million and alleging retaliation. Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a $400 million suit alleging extortion and defamation, claiming Lively had "robbed" him of control over the film. One claim alleges Baldoni asked Lively's trainer about her weight; Baldoni says his concern was about safely lifting her during a scene due to his own back problems.
