Does it end with this? Justin Baldoni's lawyer publishes settlement with Blake Lively

Key Points:

• Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have reached a settlement in their contentious legal battle over the film "It Ends With Us," with Baldoni's lawyer releasing the full agreement to provide clarity and encourage both parties to move on.
• The settlement ends all litigation between Baldoni and Lively, bars future claims related to the dispute, and includes a joint public statement, while leaving the decision on attorneys' fees and damages to the court.
• The legal conflict began in December 2024 when Lively filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign by Baldoni and his production company, leading to multiple lawsuits between the parties and related individuals.
• Key claims, including Lively's sexual harassment allegations, were dismissed or limited by a federal judge, though some retaliation claims regarding harm to Lively's reputation were allowed to proceed.
• Both actors issued a joint statement in May expressing commitment to respectful and safe workplaces, hoping the settlement brings closure and allows all involved to move forward peacefully.
