A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Blake Lively can recover just over $400,000 in attorneys’ fees from actor and director Justin Baldoni’s production company. The amount is significantly less than the $8 million Lively sought to cover her legal costs.
The legal conflict arose from the production of the 2024 film "It Ends With Us." The dispute involved a lawsuit filed by Lively regarding the production, which led Baldoni to file a defamation lawsuit against her.
This ruling follows the settlement of their fight and all but ends the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni over the filming of the movie and its aftermath.
