New York Times Seeks Fees From Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit

New York Times Seeks Fees From Justin Baldoni's Defamation Lawsuit

Imagine a newspaper, The New York Times, was sued by Justin Baldoni's company, Wayfarer Studios.

Wayfarer thought the newspaper wrote something wrong about them.

The court decided Wayfarer didn't have a good reason to sue.

Now, the newspaper wants Wayfarer to pay for the legal fees.

The newspaper says Wayfarer was trying to stop them from reporting the news.

This is all related to a larger case involving actress Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and accusations of sexual harassment.

The newspaper's defense is that their reporting was accurate and protected by the law.
