Overview

• Blake Lively attended the April 27 New York City premiere of Another Simple Favor, accompanied by her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
• Lively's public appearance follows her recognition as one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people for 2025, where she alluded to her ongoing legal challenges in a gala speech.
• The actress filed a lawsuit in December 2024 against Justin Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign related to their work on It Ends With Us.
• Baldoni has denied the allegations and countersued Lively, Reynolds, and their publicist for $400 million, citing defamation and civil extortion among other claims.
• A trial date for the legal dispute has been set for March 2026, as Lively continues to balance professional commitments and public advocacy efforts.
