US EditionBlake Lively Denies Justin Baldoni Move to Drop ‘It Ends With Us’ Lawsuit
Lively accuses Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios of creating a hostile work environment and retaliating against her, despite the film grossing $351 million, according to court filings.
- On Thursday, Blake Lively opposed Justin Baldoni's motion to dismiss her $161 million sexual harassment lawsuit, accusing him of trying to `avoid accountability` for the `hostile environment` he allegedly created on set.
- In December 2024, Blake Lively filed a California Civil Rights complaint and formal lawsuit, starting nearly a year of litigation while Justin Baldoni’s $400 million countersuits were later dismissed.

- Both parties are expected to testify at the March 2026 trial if the court denies Baldoni's motion, as Judge Lewis J. Liman previously indicated.
- The film's commercial success shows It Ends With Us grossed $351 million worldwide as Blake Lively has sought damages near $500 million, while Colleen Hoover, author and executive producer, says the legal saga overshadowed the work with high-profile witnesses possibly called.
