Tinseltown is reeling after a courtroom drama worthy of its own Oscar. Justin Baldoni’s staggering $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds once loomed like a cinematic thunderstorm, until the court abruptly dismissed it. What began as a smooth creative alliance over It Ends With Us spiraled into a headline-grabbing feud, packed with betrayal and behind-the-scenes chaos. With the legal tables now turned, Baldoni refuses to fade quietly into the credits. 

Justin Baldoni will not back down. As the case heats up, he is ready to fight back and reclaim control.

Bryan Freedman, attorney for Justin Baldoni, pushed back against what he called Blake Lively’s “predictable declaration of victory,” dismissing it as baseless. According to Variety, although the court dismissed the defamation claims, it granted permission for four of the remaining seven allegations to be revised and refiled. Freedman underscored that the heart of the case centers on what he described as a network of false claims—s----- h---------, retaliation, and a coordinated smear campaign—which Lively’s team deemed “untraceable,” not due to sophistication, but, as Freedman put it, because it "never happened.”

Bryan Freedman pushed back firmly, maintaining that Blake Lively’s claims remain just as unfounded as ever. Confident in the strength of their case, his team is moving full steam ahead, with Freedman himself set to lead her upcoming deposition. He also acknowledged the wave of public support and gave a nod to the online sleuth community, praising their sharp analysis and consistent integrity in tracking the case. However, before Baldoni's team could fire back, Lively broke her long silence, responding to the judge’s dismissal of the lawsuit.
