Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, indicating Baldoni's claims do not qualify for legal action. Although he can refine and resubmit his allegations, Baldoni opted not to do so, focusing instead on other legal options. His attorney reaffirmed their commitment to defending against Lively's claims, while Lively's representatives celebrated the court's dismissal as a complete victory. Currently, discovery is in progress, with a trial date scheduled for March 2026.
The Court's decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively's claims.
Lively's reps called the move 'a total victory after all.' The Court dismissed the frivolous $400 million Baldoni-Wayfarer lawsuit in its entirety.
