JAKARTA - New York Court rejected Justin Baldoni's lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds for defamation from stress suppression experienced after filming the film It Ends With Us.
The lawsuit filed by Baldoni worth 400 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp6.5 trillion was rejected by judge Lewis J. Liman due to claims of sexual harassment from Lively being legally protected.
The judge stated that Baldoni's legal team could change claims to the agreement and intervene against the law if they still wanted to do so, but at that time it was only available until June 23.
Lively's legal team, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb said this decision was the full victory they had been waiting for.

"As we said on the first day, the 400 million lawsuit was fake and the court saw it. We are waiting for the next round to see the lawyer's costs, losses," he told People.
Blake Lively first sued Justin Baldoni in December 2024 over alleged sexual harassment by the director. This lawsuit began after rumors circulated that Ryan Reynolds' film script It Ends with Us had nothing to do with production.
He also said that Baldoni created a dark campaign on social media to destroy Lively's reputation after he told the conditions of filming their film.
Lively also had time to sue Baldoni's claim to make emotional pressure but canceled his two demands because he wanted to focus on their case.
Blake Lively's trial of Justin Baldoni will begin in March 2026.
