Justin Baldoni's lawyer addresses reports that no money was exchanged in Blake Lively settlement
Yahoo • • general
Key Points:
- Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have reached a settlement in their longstanding legal dispute, with no money reportedly exchanged between the parties.
- Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman described the resolution as a "huge victory" and said Baldoni is "ecstatic" and "very pleased" with the outcome.
- The legal battle involved Lively's December 2024 complaint alleging sexual harassment and a coordinated retaliation plan by Baldoni, claims which Baldoni's team denied as false and salacious.
- Lively sued Baldoni in New York federal court on New Year's Eve, leading to countersuits and multiple claims, many of which were dismissed by a judge ahead of the planned trial.
- Freedman emphasized that Baldoni personally was removed from the suit before the settlement, framing the agreement as a logical conclusion to a case from which Baldoni was no longer a party.
