Revealed: 'Fatal blow' that destroys Blake Lively case and means she may be days away from giving up


When Blake heard that a judge had dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against her, she reportedly 'cried with relief.' Well, Lively better keep those tissue boxes close.

For six months, the 37-year-old actress had been in the eye of a storm – one sparked by her decision in December to sue her former co-star and director Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of their film It Ends With Us and of starting a smear campaign against her. It was Liman's judgement that Baldoni failed to adequately allege that Lively and Reynold knowingly made false statements to defame him, yet - Serrato believes - that plaintiffs typically aren't required to present such proof so early in the proceedings. Baldoni himself was reportedly disappointed by Judge Liman's decision, but a source close to the 41-year-old told the Daily Mail that he trusted his legal team and was 'looking to figure out how to move forward from this current setback.'
