Legal Battle Between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who starred in the movie 'It Ends With Us,' had a big fight in court.
Blake said Justin was mean to her at work and tried to hurt her reputation.
Justin said Blake and her friends lied about him and sued them for $400 million.
But the judge said Justin didn't prove his claims and threw out his lawsuit.
Now, Blake's original case about what happened at work is still going on and will go to trial next year.
Blake Lively accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment on the set of 'It Ends With Us.'
Baldoni counter-sued for $400 million, alleging defamation and invasion of privacy.
A judge dismissed Baldoni's lawsuit, stating Lively's statements were protected and Baldoni failed to prove his claims.
Lively's original lawsuit is still ongoing, with a trial set for March 2026.
The film 'It Ends With Us' earned over $350 million worldwide.
