Blake Lively accused Baldoni for the first time in December 2024 of sexual harassment while working on the film It ends with us.
A simple favor Actress said he took revenge on a smear campaign, which later became the subject of a widely read report that described the efforts to harm her reputation.
Baldoni answered with an aggressive counters, and accused Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist of slander and extortion.
However, he also recorded the newspaper in his claims, but in June 2025 Judge Lewis Liman rejected the majority of his arguments.
The judge’s decision left the actor with limited options and a weaker legal attitude.
The new submission stated that the newspaper spent at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars on defending itself, as lawyers said that the Anti-Slapp law required the side of Baldoni to repay those costs, because the countersuit has no legal merit.
Moreover, Justin denied all those allegations and said he never acted inappropriate and he even accused Blake of the same behavior she described against him.
For the time being, the legal fight has drawn Hollywood’s attention and continued to build up the pressure around both actors.
