Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Trial Is Getting Pushed Back

In December 2024, Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, the film’s director, and his production company, alleging emotional distress and retaliation. The suit followed a promotional tour filled with rumors that created conflict between Lively and Baldoni among fans. Lively claims Baldoni and his team deliberately damaged her reputation after she reported alleged sexual harassment. Baldoni filed a countersuit, but a judge dismissed it in June 2025. A resolution to Lively’s original suit is expected in about six months, by which time author Colleen Hoover will have had two additional book-to-film adaptations released.
