US actress Blake Lively is said to be ‘devastated’ after her legal defeat by Justin Baldoni, a Hollywood expert has claimed, saying she is ‘ready to fight back’.
A federal judge on Thursday dismissed Blake Lively’s allegations in her lawsuit against actor and director Justin Baldoni.
The 152-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman followed more than a year of bitter litigation over the film, which Lively and Baldoni co-starred and which Baldoni directed.
Following the major development, pundit Rob Shuter has claimed that Lively is reeling from a crushing courtroom defeat, but doesn’t expect her to back down.
The insiders told Rob: “She is devastated. This is not the outcome she expected.”
The sources further said that emotions are running high behind the scenes.
Blake Lively is ‘angry’ and “She feels like her story is not being fully heard,” the counselor tells the expert.
However, the insiders shared that “Blake isn’t giving up. She’s digging in.”
Meanwhile, the Reuters quoted one of her layers as saying that Lively “looks forward to testifying” and showing the efforts made to destroy her reputation “because she stood up for safety on set.”
However, Baldoni’s lawyers said they were pleased with the dismissal of the harassment claims, and all claims against the five individual defendants.
The suspects have strongly denied wrongdoing.
