A New York judge has substantially altered Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, diminishing its impact before a potential trial. Judge Lewis Liman’s ruling, delivered on Wednesday, dramatically reduced Lively’s claims. The judge determined that Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment were unfounded.
Consequently, she now faces only three remaining legal arguments: breach of contract, revenge, and aiding and abetting revenge. These claims stem from incidents allegedly occurring during the filming of the movie “It Ends With Us.”
Specifically, Lively’s allegations involved inappropriate conduct, including off-screen kisses and interference with her consumption of yogurt. The DailyMail reported on this significant legal development.
Judge Liman’s decision centered on the fact that Lively was classified as an independent contractor, not an employee. Furthermore, he asserted that the contracts she referenced lacked legal validity. The judge emphasized that Baldoni’s actions did not represent discrimination against Lively.
This ruling represents a crucial shift in the legal proceedings involving lively and baldoni.
