Originally scheduled to start March 9, 2026, the It Ends With Us trial now starts on May 18, per . Judge Lewis J. Liman of the Southern District of New York explained that two criminal trials that "take precedent" over a civil trial. The next hearing is on January 22, and Judge Liman reportedly told the parties at a post-discovery hearing on December 9 to talk about settlements, if needed.

Why were these people on the topic? Well, allegedly when Baldoni met with a then-"very pregnant" (his words) Lively to convince her to do the film, they discussed whether or not she would circumcise her fourth child. In the process, he told his soon-to-be co-worker (along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a handful of other staff in the room) that he himself was circumcised.

Since the actress sued her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation at the end of 2024, a certain class of content creators had been eager to weigh in. In her complaint, Lively had alleged that Baldoni's camp was planting hit pieces about her online. TMZ had just reported that Hilton was one of three influencers Lively had set her sights on.

James Brolin expressed his pride in Justin Baldoni for his writing on masculinity, expressing that Baldoni’s work teaches boys to confront their fears and understand manhood.

A judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Blake Lively, indicating insufficient evidence to support claims of defamation and extortion regarding creative control over 'This Ends With Us.'

I feel, like, maybe Blake [Lively] smelled his kindness - mistook it for weakness - and tried to take advantage and take power.
