Baldoni Breaks Silence on Blake Lively Lawsuit, Calls Claims 'Painful'

Justin Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, shared an Instagram video addressing the ongoing legal fight with Blake Lively over the production of the 2024 drama It Ends With Us. They say they have largely stayed quiet for two years, not due to a lack of things to say but because it didn’t feel right to speak until now. Lively is seeking about $8 million in attorney fees from Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, while Baldoni explains the timing and prayer behind speaking out and acknowledges painful statements tied to the dispute.

Lively Seeks $8 Million in Legal Fees in Baldoni Defamation Case

The request covers six months of work and comes after the case settled with no monetary payout, though Lively can recover costs under a California anti-harassment law; a federal judge earlier ruled she’s entitled to fees. The final amount will be decided after Baldoni replies.

Blake Lively Seeks $8 Million in Attorney Fees in Baldoni Defamation Case

Blake Lively has asked a judge to award about $8 million in attorneys’ fees and costs for defending against Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios’ defamation suit; court filings say she incurred roughly $7.5 million in fees (rates up to $2,187/hour) plus $540,000 in costs during 18 months of litigation, and argue the fee award would deter retaliatory suits against accusers. The defamation case was dismissed earlier under litigation privilege and Lively dropped her own suit on the eve of trial; Baldoni’s team will be able to respond before a sum is awarded, and the request covers only the defense of the Baldoni suit, not Lively’s own suit.

Blake Lively Pursues Attorney Fees After Baldoni Settlement

Blake Lively agreed to settle her defamation claims against Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios, but has filed a motion for attorney fees under California’s Protecting Survivors from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits Act, arguing the award would empower survivors’ advocacy and could bolster the Speak Your Truth Act; the judge had dismissed most claims, and the fee ruling remains unresolved with further briefing and possibly a hearing, while Baldoni’s team argues the law shouldn’t apply to conduct outside California.

Gwyneth Paltrow denied attorney fees in skiing lawsuit.

Gwyneth Paltrow will not be able to recoup the attorney fees she paid to defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old man who claimed she crashed into him at a Utah ski resort in 2016. A Utah judge said attorneys for Paltrow and Terry Sanderson had agreed to drop the matter of Paltrow's attorneys' fees. The judgment affirmed the jury's unanimous verdict finding Sanderson to be '100% at fault,' awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit. Neither side has publicly disclosed how much it cost to sustain a years-long legal battle with a team of attorneys and expert witnesses.
