"Anyone purporting to confirm the terms of the confidential settlement at this point is misleading you. More information about this confidential settlement will be on the court's docket in the coming days."
"Lively, 38, had originally filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 42, in January 2025, accusing him of conspiring with publicists to preemptively destroy her reputation after she privately alleged sexual harassment on the movie set."
"Baldoni, who directed the film and starred alongside Lively, consistently denied the harassment claims and any involvement in a smear campaign. He maintained that Lively's complaints were fabricated in an attempt to gain creative control over the movie."
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni reached a settlement ending their highly publicized legal battle over sexual harassment accusations and an alleged smear campaign during production of their 2024 film It Ends With Us. Multiple reports confirm no money changed hands between the parties themselves, though their combined legal teams earned $60 million from the proceedings. Baldoni's lawyer characterized the settlement as a huge victory for his client. Lively originally filed suit in January 2025, accusing Baldoni of conspiring with publicists to damage her reputation after she alleged sexual harassment on set. Baldoni denied all harassment claims and maintained Lively's complaints were fabricated to gain creative control. A pending motion for attorneys' fees and damages remains in connection with Baldoni's failed defamation suit against Lively.
