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.
