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.”,
