No-Payout Settlement Quietly Ends Lively–Baldoni It Ends With Us Feud

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni reportedly settled their nearly two-year legal battle over It Ends With Us with no money exchanged, with only the lawyers earning fees and terms kept confidential. A federal judge narrowed the case to Lively’s retaliation claims and a breach-of-contract claim, while Baldoni’s defamation suit against Lively and Ryan Reynolds was dismissed; the joint statement emphasized pride in the film and a commitment to safe workplaces, with further docket details anticipated.
