Judge Dismisses Most of Blake Lively's Harassment Claims Against Justin Baldoni

It's April 2nd. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your

front row to the latest buzz. I'm Cory, with the story.

A judge just handed Justin Baldoni a big victory over Blake Lively by tossing out all her

sexual harassment claims against him.

This happened right before their trial set from May 18th in New York City. Now Lively

only has three claims left standing, making her case a lot weaker. The ruling came down

because the contracts, Lively pointed to, weren't enforceable.

Judge Lewis Lyman said they were never properly signed or agreed to by both sides, so no dice

on those harassment arguments.

This legal mess kicked off back in December 2024, when Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him

of harassment, like body shaming and running a OMC, smear campaign.

She also targeted his studio and team. Baldoni fired back with his own suit, but that got

dismissed earlier this year.

Tensions boiled over in recent depositions, with Lively's lawyers calling out Baldoni's

team for prying into her personal life and acting out of line. Both sides deny everything,

and the drama has totally overshadowed their movie It Ends With Us, which pulled in 350

million worldwide. With the trial still on track, eyes are on those remaining claims, and

what unfolds next in this Hollywood showdown.
