Judge Dismisses Blake Lively Sexual Harassment Claims Against Justin Baldoni

A federal judge in New York dismissed most of Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni on Thursday, throwing out her sexual harassment claims over their work on "It Ends With Us."

Judge Lewis Liman dismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims against Baldoni, who both starred in and directed the 2024 romantic drama. The harassment claims centered on Baldoni's behavior during filming, including allegations about inappropriate conduct during scene work.

While the sexual harassment claims were tossed out, the judge allowed Lively's retaliation claims to move forward. These claims suggest Baldoni took action against Lively in response to her complaints about his conduct.

The lawsuit had drawn significant attention as a high-profile case involving two well-known actors. Lively alleged that Baldoni crossed professional boundaries while working together on the film adaptation.
