Blake Lively’s latest legal request in her ongoing legal battle against her It Ends with Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni has been granted, marking one of her first major victories in the case.
The 37-year-old Gossip Girl star is suing Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment on set and for later allegedly orchestrating a “smear campaign” intended to destroy her reputation in the months following the film’s release. Baldoni, who denies the allegations, has filed a $400m countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
