A U.S. judge on Monday dismissed actor Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against actress Blake Lively, who had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends with Us .
Baldoni had accused Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist, the New York Times and others of orchestrating a smear campaign to extort him.
He accused Lively of trying to “hijack” the movie, whose themes included domestic violence, and then blame him when her “disastrous” promotional approach prompted an online backlash against her.
