Overview
- Newly unsealed July disclosures detail at least $161 million in claimed losses, including $56.2 million in earnings, $49 million tied to Blake Brown Beauty, $22 million for Betty Buzz/Betty Booze, and $34 million in reputational harm.
- Lively’s team says it will seek punitive damages of not less than three times her actual damages, with all figures described as preliminary and subject to expert proof at trial.
- More than 100 people are listed as potential witnesses, including Taylor Swift, Emily Blunt, Gigi Hadid and Hugh Jackman, a discovery-stage list that legal experts say is typically over-inclusive.
- Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Lively’s claims against social media strategist Jed Wallace for lack of New York jurisdiction, noting they could be brought in Texas, where Wallace has filed a separate defamation case.
- The court entered final judgment ending Baldoni and Wayfarer’s defamation countersuit after no amended complaint was filed, while Baldoni’s lawyer said they chose not to amend to preserve appeal rights as discovery disputes continue toward the March 9, 2026 trial.
