A judge has dealt a major blow to Blake Lively's lawsuit against "It Ends With Us" costar, Justin Baldoni. The judge dismissed 10 of 13 claims in the suit, including the sexual harassment claim.

New York

A judge has dismissed 10 out of 13 claims in Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, including all claims of sexual harassment and defamation. The court found that California law could not be applied to alleged incidents that occurred in New Jersey, and that public comments made by Baldoni's attorney did not constitute defamation.

The only remaining claims in the lawsuit are breach of contract and allegations of a smear campaign. The trial is scheduled to begin in May, but with most claims dismissed, there is an increased likelihood that the case may be settled before reaching trial.

Judge dismisses most of Blake Lively's claims against Justin Baldoni

A judge dealt a major blow to Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. Most of her claims dismissed. What can you tell us about this? The vast majority of it. She had 13 claims in her lawsuit, 10 have been dismissed. The big ones being all the claims for defamation and also the claims about sexual harassment on the set. And the reason for that basically is that the judge said that the sexual harassment claims were made under California law, that she had tried to apply, her lawyers had applied California law, but the sexual harassment itself occurred while they were on set in New Jersey. And so the California laws would not be applicable, would not be applicable in this case. And that's why the judge dismissed all of those. The defamation also, the judge said, it's not defamation. You were, both sides in Justin Baldoni's case, his attorney, did make public comments, but against, you know, I guess you could say against Blake, but really he was commenting about the litigation, about the lawsuits that had been filed. And the judge said, that's not defamation. That's just comment, commentary that both sides are free to make. It's also the reason why months ago, Justin Baldoni's lawsuit for defamation was thrown out. So there's, all that's left here now is breach of contract and the smear campaign that Blake is claiming he had running against her. Do you think those will eventually be thrown out as well? I don't think they'll be thrown out. The trial is set to begin in May, but I think there's so few claims left, it is much better chance now that this will be settled and that there actually won't be a trial. Yeah. All right. We appreciate chatting with you. Absolutely.
