Judge dismisses which Baldoni claims?

What the judge’s ruling does

A judge dismissed the vast majority of Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni in an ongoing It Ends With Us case.

What happened in court

Across multiple updates, the key point is that the court knocked out all but a small number of Lively’s claims, meaning the dispute is now narrowed and will proceed to trial on the remaining issues. One report frames it as a “major win” for Baldoni because the dismissed allegations were the core of Lively’s harassment allegations.

Why it matters

This kind of partial dismissal can significantly change both the stakes and the strategy for both sides: - Lively’s case is narrowed, limiting what the jury will ultimately hear. - Baldoni’s legal position strengthens, since the court rejected most of the claims early. - Trial focus increases, because the remaining allegations become the center of arguments, evidence, and witness testimony.

What’s next

The trial date is still scheduled, with one update stating it is set for May 18.

For entertainment coverage, this remains one of the highest-profile celebrity litigation stories because it involves major co-stars from a widely discussed blockbuster-adjacent film ecosystem, and the rulings can influence public perception while the legal process continues.
