What court outcome happened in Blake Lively case?

Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claims were dismissed—what’s next

A federal judge dismissed most of Blake Lively’s claims against It Ends With Us co-star/director Justin Baldoni, clearing a major portion of the lawsuit ahead of trial.

The coverage says that 10 out of 13 of Lively’s claims were thrown out, including sexual harassment and several related allegations. The judge’s decision is framed as a “major setback” for Lively, but not a full stop: retaliation allegations and a smaller set of claims are still expected to move forward toward trial.

At least one other development followed quickly—legal representatives for both sides responded publicly after the dismissal. Lively’s position, as summarized in the stories, emphasizes that the case is not entirely over, and that she’s looking toward the courtroom for what remains. Baldoni’s team is characterized as viewing the dismissal as a win and indicating they’re prepared for the portion that continues.

Why this matters

• It narrows the legal issues that will be litigated, changing what jurors (if the case proceeds) will ultimately weigh.
• The ruling impacts public expectations around timing and settlement pressure, since fewer claims generally reduce exposure.
• It keeps attention on the upcoming trial date for what remains of the dispute.

The stories also indicate there were settlement efforts discussed shortly after the dismissal, suggesting both sides considered whether to resolve the remaining issues without continuing the full process.

The provided text does not include the exact list of which claims were dismissed versus which proceed, nor does it confirm final trial details beyond the fact that the matter is still moving forward for the surviving allegations.
