Overview
- Blake Lively filed a notice of settlement in her sexual-harassment-related case tied to It Ends With Us and asked the court to award her attorneys’ fees along with compensatory and punitive damages.
- Lively’s lawyers called the deal a resounding victory and said Justin Baldoni and the other individual defendants waived any appeal and now face personal liability.
- Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman said the result was a win for the Wayfarer parties and noted the court had already dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims, including every sexual harassment count.
- A narrow fees dispute that has been before the judge since September 2025 remains unresolved, so some procedural issues are still open.
- Hours after settlement news broke, Lively walked the Met Gala carpet in an archival Versace gown, and Hugh Jackman said he helped fix a dress hook after checking with Ryan Reynolds.
