Justin Baldoni’s demand against Blake Lively was dismissed by a federal judge in New York on Monday.
The co -star of “ends with us” have been in a heated legal dispute since 2024.
In his motion, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed the counter of $ 400 million of Justin Baldoni against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, the couple’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, as well as Baldoni’s defamation claim against the New York Times.
“The assumptions made indicate that the Times reviewed the evidence available and reported, perhaps dramatized, which believed it happened,” said the opinion. “The Times did not have an obvious reason to favor the version of Lively’s events.”

Baldoni has until June 23 to refill some of his statements.
The lawyers of Lively, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, described the dismissal as a “total victory and a complete claim for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties crawled to their demand for reprisal, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and the New York Times.”
“As we have said from the first day, this demand for ‘$ 400 million’ was a farce, and the court saw it just through,” the statement continued. “We look forward to the next round, which seeks lawyers, triplicate damage and punitive damage against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan and the other parties that perpetrated this abusive litigation.”
