Blake Lively Seeks Fees After Baldoni Settlement; Judge Denies Additional Briefs

After settling her defamation suit with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively asked the court for permission to file more briefs to recover attorney fees and damages, but the judge denied the request. Court filings reported by NYT confirmed she didn’t receive money as part of the settlement, though it left open a path for damages—now not available for the time being. The settlement came weeks before the trial, and both sides issued a joint statement praising the film and reaffirming a commitment to a respectful workplace as they move forward.

Judge Denies Blake Lively’s Bid for More Briefs in Baldoni Case

A federal judge rejected Blake Lively’s request to file additional briefs about Justin Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit, keeping the legal wrangle progressing in procedural steps even after the parties reached a settlement on the initial 18‑month dispute. Lively remains seeking attorneys’ fees and damages under a California law meant to protect sexual abuse survivors from retaliation, while Baldoni’s team argues the filing violated his right to petition and questions the law’s applicability given where the alleged incidents occurred. The high‑profile clash has cost both sides tens of millions, with a May trial looming despite the settlement.”,

It Ends With Us co-star alleges Lively took charge of birthing scene

Adam Mondschein, who played the OB-GYN in It Ends With Us, claims Blake Lively was the 'most powerful person in the room' during the birthing scene and inserted herself into every creative decision; he says she wasn’t nearly nude and that she wore a prosthetic, a gown, and shorts while delivering a live baby off-screen. Lively’s lawsuits against Justin Baldoni allege disturbing on-set conduct including a 'violative' birth scene; Mondschein previously defended Baldoni. Lively and Baldoni settled their court battle on May 4, 2026.
