Blake Lively’s Justin Baldoni lawsuit has only one truly bad outcome.

Key Points:

• Actress Blake Lively is reportedly considering leaving the U.S. amid ongoing legal and public relations challenges related to her 2024 film "It Ends With Us," though these reports are based on unnamed sources.
• Lively has accused director and co-lead Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation, leading to a highly publicized legal battle; Baldoni denies the allegations, and the trial is scheduled for next month.
• A judge recently dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims, including the sexual harassment allegations, on the grounds that she was an independent contractor rather than an employee, limiting the applicability of federal discrimination laws.
• The case has attracted a polarized online following, with significant support for Baldoni from conservative and manosphere-adjacent groups, complicating public perception of the dispute.
• Despite setbacks and rumors of settlement, Lively appears determined to proceed to trial, with hopes that completing the case will allow her to move past the controversy and continue her acting career.
