Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni just settled their explosive sexual harassment lawsuit, and neither of them walked away with a single dollar. The real winners here? Their lawyers, who raked in a staggering $60 million combined for what turned out to be an 18-month legal circus that left both actors’ careers in limbo.
According to Page Six, the settlement came down just two weeks before the case was set to go to trial on May 18. Sources say the judge wasn’t exactly thrilled about the prospect of a lengthy, drawn-out trial and pushed both sides to reach an agreement. After weeks of negotiations, Lively and Baldoni finally struck a deal. Hours after the settlement was announced, Lively was spotted at the Met Gala 2026, looking unfazed as she posed for photos on the red carpet.
