Blake Lively Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni Moves Toward May Trial

Judge Lewis Liman is weighing a dismissal request in the lawsuit filed by Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni over allegations of sexual harassment and a toxic workplace during the filming of "It Ends With Us".Newly unsealed text messages from January 2026 reveal support from costar Brandon Sklenar and a critique of Baldoni by Taylor Swift, whose friendship with Lively has reportedly faced strain during the proceedings.While the trial is scheduled for May 18, 2026, lawyers for both sides have discussed the possibility of a settlement despite Lively's intent to use the case to empower other women.
