Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively gets tossed

Entertainment Nov 23, 2025

Justin Baldoni's massive defamation suit against Blake Lively has officially been dismissed.
The actor-director filed the $400 million case back in January 2025, also naming Ryan Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloane, after Lively accused him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

What happened next?

A judge dropped the case in June, giving Baldoni a chance to amend it—but nothing changed by October, so it was closed for good.
Things heated up again recently when Baldoni released footage tied to claims of unscripted intimacy on set.
The drama even caught author Colleen Hoover's attention, who mentioned that she is embarrassed about the whole situation.
Despite everything, Baldoni maintains his innocence and denies all allegations.
