Blake Lively Reacts to Court Ruling in 'It Ends With Us' Lawsuit
Summary
Blake Lively has publicly reacted to a recent court ruling in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni related to the film “It Ends With Us.” While a New York federal judge dismissed several of Lively’s original claims, including allegations of on-set misconduct, portions of the case concerning alleged retaliation were allowed to move forward to trial. Lively expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to present her full story to a jury, stating, “I’m grateful for the Court’s ruling which allows the heart of my case to be presented to a jury next month.” She emphasized that the lawsuit stemmed from “pervasive RETALIATION” she faced after requesting a safe working environment.
Lively’s statement highlighted her commitment to advocating for those who have experienced workplace misconduct, particularly those without a public platform. She intends to share her full account during the trial and continue fighting against systems that silence victims. Baldoni’s legal team welcomed the dismissal of the sexual harassment claims, stating they were “very pleased” with the court’s decision and look forward to defending against the remaining claims.
