EXCLUSIVE! Y’all thought this was over? THINK AGAIN! The legal battlefield between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni just saw a MASSIVE shift, and honey, it ain’t pretty for Blake!
Sources say a judge just threw out a whopping 10 out of her 13 claims—TEN! Can you BELIEVE this?! This isn’t just a minor setback; this is a full-blown legal EXPLOSION directed right at the heart of her allegations.
Get this: the most DAMNING claims—the sexual harassment allegations—were dismissed. POOF! Gone!
Here’s the thing, chile: the judge didn’t say Baldoni was completely innocent, oh no. The court ruled that because Blake was an independent contractor, those specific claims didn’t stick. It’s a technicality, but in Hollywood courtrooms, technicalities are EVERYTHING.
We’re told that the judge admitted the harassment claims were, quote, “far from baseless,” but the employment status loophole slammed the door shut. Talk about a BRUTAL reality check!
But WAIT—it gets WORSE for the narrative she was trying to push!
Lively’s legal shark, Sigrid McCawley, immediately tried to spin this as a WIN, claiming the focus is still on the “devastating retaliation.” Retaliation, people! They are still clinging to the claims that Baldoni’s team launched digital attacks to destroy her reputation.
McCawley dropped a BOMBSHELL statement, insisting Blake is ready to testify and expose the “vicious form of online retaliation.” She wants everyone to know Blake stood up for safety on set. Uh-huh, sure, Jan.
Can you imagine the drama brewing behind the scenes? This whole thing smells like a POWER STRUGGLE that’s spilling out onto the front pages!
The only things surviving this legal purge? Claims of breach of contract and FEHA retaliation against Baldoni’s company. That’s the only battle left standing before the May 18th trial date. A tiny sliver of hope for Lively, but the MAJOR allegations are DUST.
Listen up, y’all, because this is where the Hollywood machine shows its teeth. The dismissal hinged entirely on Blake Lively’s employment status. Independent contractor status means she doesn’t get the same protections as a direct employee.
Sources say this is the oldest trick in the book to limit liability. Is this Blake being blindsided, or was her team sloppy? We’re leaning towards the latter!
The actress’s team is trying to pivot, framing the remaining fight as exposing the ‘playbook’ behind smear campaigns. They are desperately trying to keep the narrative alive after this HUGE defeat!
We reached out to reps for Justin Baldoni, naturally, but crickets—typical when you’re winning the PR war, even if the legal war isn’t fully over. Silence speaks volumes, folks!
This whole saga proves one thing: when you sign those contracts, you better read the fine print, especially when dealing with powerful studio heads and directors. Blake thought she had the high ground, but the judge just handed Justin Baldoni the tactical ADVANTAGE.
The trial for retaliation is still looming, so don’t tune out yet! But for now, it’s a MAJOR victory for the It Ends With Us production side. We will be watching every single move she makes!
