Justin Baldoni’s Lawsuit Against Blake Lively DISMISSED In Stunning Decision

Justin Baldoni just suffered a major legal setback.

For starters, Judge Liman’s decision allows Baldoni and his business partners to amend their claims of breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract, and to resubmit their complaint with a June 23 deadline. “But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.” A statement issued by lawyers Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb describes today’s decision as a “total victory and a complete vindication” for Lively and the others whom “Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and the New York Times.”
