Blake Lively Seeks $8.04M in Legal Fees After Judge Liman Orders Baldoni and Wayfarer to Answer

Blake Lively is seeking $8.04M in attorneys' fees and $540K in costs after a federal judge ordered Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios to respond to her request.Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400M countersuit and a separate claim against the New York Times, and the judge ruled Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios must answer the fee application.The litigation produced more than 7,000 documents and depositions that included Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds, and Lively's lawyers say legal bills total $7.5M in fees plus $540K in costs.The filings cite the Protecting Survivors from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits Act and a complaint filed with the CA Civil Rights Dept, and the court will decide the award after Baldoni files his response in the coming weeks.
