For several months now, the legal battle between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has been a hot topic in media circles. As new developments unfold and legal papers are filed, there’s much debate about which party holds the advantage.
Read on to know the latest updates on the case.
Is Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni winning in their lawsuit?
The ongoing legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is raising eyebrows as people try to determine who might come out on top. Yet, since the final decision hasn’t been made, it remains unclear who the victor will be. At this point, the trial has been scheduled for March 2026.
In my own words as a fan: Just recently, I learned that Lively has moved to dismiss Baldoni’s defamation and civil extortion case against her. Her lawyers assert that this lawsuit is essentially a publicity tool designed to damage her reputation. They also believe it infringes upon California laws that safeguard individuals who speak up against sexual harassment or retaliation. The documents highlight several legal obstacles for Baldoni’s allegations, including the litigation privilege, fair report privilege, and sexual harassment privilege.
Lively’s lawyers argue that Baldoni’s lawsuit could actually work against him. They criticized the lawsuit as an abuse of the legal system, labeling it as “petty and disorganized.” This statement follows Reynolds’ legal team’s request to dismiss Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively.
In response, attorney Bryan Freedman, representing Baldoni, released a statement to PEOPLE. He described Lively’s motion as an attempt to exploit the legal system for personal gain. Freedman added, “We will persist in holding Ms. Lively responsible for her actions of sheer malice, which encompass false accusations against my clients of harassment and retaliation.
Earlier, Freedman discussed if the legal dispute with Blake Lively could potentially be resolved. On The Town podcast, he stated that it seems unlikely a resolution will be reached since Baldoni is more concerned with proving his innocence instead of negotiating a settlement. Freedman also mentioned that the accusations have greatly affected Baldoni.
