Overview
- Lively’s July damages disclosure, unsealed this week, estimates $56.2 million in lost earnings, $49 million for her Blake Brown beauty brand, $22 million for Betty Buzz/Betty Booze, and about $34 million for reputational harm tied to roughly 65 million negative impressions.
- Her filing says the figure is preliminary and will be supported by expert testimony, and her lawyers plan to seek punitive damages of at least three times the actual amount.
- A newly public discovery list names numerous high‑profile figures as likely to have relevant information, including Taylor Swift, Emily Blunt, Hugh Jackman and Gigi Hadid, though their inclusion does not mean they will testify.
- A federal judge entered final judgment on Oct. 31 dismissing Baldoni’s $400 million defamation case after he chose not to amend it, while Lively’s suit against Baldoni and Wayfarer remains on track for trial.
- Judge Lewis J. Liman also dismissed Lively’s New York claims against social media strategist Jed Wallace for lack of jurisdiction, and the parties continue to clash over discovery and alleged undeleted or auto‑deleting communications.
