Overview

• Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint in December 2024, accusing Justin Baldoni of creating a hostile work environment during the filming of It Ends With Us.
• In January 2025, Baldoni countersued Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Leslie Sloane for $400 million, alleging defamation and extortion.
• Brett Dier, Baldoni's former Jane the Virgin costar, recently called the legal situation 'intense' and voiced his support for Baldoni, describing him as a close friend.
• Lively and Reynolds have denied Baldoni's claims and filed motions to dismiss his defamation lawsuit, arguing their statements are protected opinions.
• The trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026, with both parties continuing to navigate legal and public relations challenges.
