The Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively back-and-forth post It Ends With Us has honestly been script-worthy in itself. The lawsuits, the public spats, the newspaper exposé — we’ve seen it all. But with Baldoni’s suit now dismissed by the courts, we’re finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, with Lively choosing not to celebrate but instead shine a light on the need to protect women’s right to speak up.
BBC reports that Judge Lewis Liman has formally dismissed Baldoni’s countersuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times. Baldoni really cast a wide net there. Lively took the first step in this saga when she filed a legal complaint alleging that Baldoni’s company, Wayfarer Studios, oversaw sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us and that Baldoni retaliated against her when she brought those charges.
