Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled their lawsuits against each other back in May, but there’s still some unfinished business between the former It Ends with Us co-stars. Lively (38) took Baldoni (42) back to court after the fact in order to pursue damages and attorneys’ fees. A judge eventually ruled that the actress was entitled to compensation for the fees but not for the damages. Now, Lively’s team has formally filed its request for compensation and, per legal documents, they’re seeking a large sum of money from Baldoni.
According to a report that surfaced on Tuesday morning, Lively is seeking nearly $8.04 million — or $8,035,040.88, to be precise — in attorneys’ fees and litigation costs from Baldoni. Lively is specifically asking for $7,495,526.87 as far as legal fees are concerned and $539,514.01 to cover the litigation expenses. As of this writing, neither Baldoni nor his legal team have responded to this formal request. Lively’s team, meanwhile, has also laid out its rationale for how they arrived at this particular financial figure.
