The Lawsuit

Back in December 2024, the actress filed a bombshell lawsuit against her former co-star, Justin Baldoni.
Lively accused the fellow lead actor and director of It Ends With Us of sexual harassment and claimed Baldoni's behavior while filming caused her "grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety."
Baldoni firmly denied Lively's accusations and first filed a lawsuit against The New York Times seeking $250 million in damages after they posted their article about her allegations.
The actor then sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for $400 million just weeks later.
The legal nightmare took Hollywood by storm, and stories quickly began surfacing on social media about the actress and her "rude" behavior.

The Latest Update
The actress has also been kicked to the curb by her longtime best friend, Taylor Swift.
Most recently, the legal case took yet another turn after Lively withdrew two claims of emotional distress from her lawsuit against the actor.
This decision came after Baldoni's legal team requested access to her medical records and therapy notes in their effort to defend him against the emotional distress claims Lively made in her lawsuit.
The trial between Lively and Baldoni is currently scheduled to begin on March 9, 2026.
In addition to the nonstop backlash due to the lawsuit, Lively has also been kicked to the curb by her longtime best friend, Taylor Swift, for dragging her into the legal nightmare.
In early May, Baldoni pulled the subpoena on the pop star's docs amid his heated lawsuit war with Lively after Swift's team slammed claims she had nothing to do with filming It Ends With Us.
