Overview
- The litigation between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ended with a settlement in May 2026 that halted the case before it reached trial.
- Filmmaker Andy Signore’s new docuseries It Ends With Justice, released in late October, features crew members who say they did not witness the hostile or combative behavior Lively described.
- Interviewees in the series dispute specific claims about a childbirth scene and edits to domestic violence sequences, saying those disputes looked like normal production disagreements rather than widespread misconduct.
- Some reports of Baldoni’s countersuits, including a high‑dollar defamation figure, have limited sourcing and in some instances were later dismissed or questioned by outlets.
- The documentary has revived public debate and reputational consequences for Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Baldoni while the settlement continues to stand as a nonjudicial resolution that did not determine legal guilt or innocence.
