Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Legal Battle Escalates

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are embroiled in a high-profile legal battle stemming from allegations of sexual harassment and defamation related to their film 'It Ends With Us.' Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment on set, while Baldoni has countersued for $400 million, claiming defamation and civil extortion, including against Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. Legal expert Dina Doll opined that Lively has a stronger case, as Baldoni's arguments do not adequately refute the harassment claims. The case has sparked significant public and media interest, including a documentary titled 'In Dispute: Lively vs. Baldoni,' which examines the legal evidence and public reactions. Amidst the legal turmoil, Lively has found solace in baking, frequently sharing her culinary escapades on social media, which some view as a PR move. The trial is set for March 2026, and both parties have filed motions to dismiss the opposing lawsuits.
