The legal battle between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni hit center stage in a New York federal courtroom again on Monday despite a recent deal to end Lively's claims that she suffered retaliation after making sexual harassment claims over the making of their 2024 film It Ends With Us.
Attorney Ellyn Garofalo, representing Baldoni, told US District Judge Lewis J Liman that Lively was trying through an application for attorney fees to do “an end run around the jury trial” that was voided when a deal was reached before a May trial was set to start.
