Judge to Blake Lively: I Don't Need Any More Filings in This Case
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- A federal judge overseeing Blake Lively's legal dispute with Justin Baldoni has denied her request to file additional briefs regarding legal fees and damages, signaling readiness to make a final decision.
- Blake Lively seeks recovery of legal fees and damages after Justin Baldoni filed a defamation countersuit against her, which she claims was retaliatory and was eventually dismissed.
- The legal battle largely ended with a settlement related to Blake’s sexual harassment claims on the set of "It Ends With Us," except for the unresolved issue of fees and damages.
- The judge’s refusal to allow further briefing suggests the court is prepared to rule based on the existing motions and evidence already submitted by both parties.
