Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds


A judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Baldoni had sued the publication for $250 million for libel, claiming that the newspaper published an article “rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions” that relied on Lively’s “self-serving narrative.” The judge ruled that Baldoni’s team can file an amended complaint on the allegations of tortious interference with contract and breach of implied covenant by June 23, if they choose to do so. She alleged that after being sexually harassed with inappropriate comments and behavior on set, Baldoni’s team then orchestrated a smear campaign against her to ruin her reputation in the public sphere.
