Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni dismissed by judge
A federal judge dismissed most of the claims in Blake Lively’s harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni in a court ruling Thursday.
Judge Lewis Liman threw out 10 of Lively’s 13 claims against Baldoni, including sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy, according to NBC News.
However, three of her claims can proceed — breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation.
Lively and Baldoni’s trial is set for May 18.
Lively filed a complaint accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment while they worked together on the set of “It Ends With Us,” and officially sued the director in January 2025.
Lively claimed she suffered at least $161 million in lost earnings and damages due to the alleged smear campaign launched against her when the film came out.
Baldoni, who denied Lively’s allegations, sued her — and her husband, Ryan Reynolds — for $400 million later that same month, though the lawsuit was tossed out in June 2025.
