Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Settle Lawsuit

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have reached a settlement in their legal dispute linked to the movie It Ends With Us, ending proceedings two weeks before a trial was due to begin on 18 May. A federal judge had already dismissed 10 of 13 claims, including sexual harassment, defamation and civil conspiracy, leaving claims for retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation and breach of contract, to proceed.

A joint statement released on 4 May refers to workplace standards and the film’s impact. No further details of the settlement have been made public and both parties issued the same wording.
