A federal judge has dismissed most claims in Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, her co-star on 'It Ends With Us', significantly narrowing the case ahead of its civil trial. The ruling eliminated 10 of 13 allegations, including sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy, but left intact claims of breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation.
The decision marks a setback for Lively, though three key allegations will proceed to trial on 18 May. Lively responded swiftly on Instagram, stating the ruling allows 'the heart of my case to be presented to a jury next month'.
