Blake Lively Seeks Millions From Justin Baldoni, He Faces New Abuse Allegations From Unnamed Source

The Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni Row is far from reaching an amicable settlement. It is clear from the fresh wave of allegations that have been brought against him. In the latest development of the case, Blake Lively is seeking means to have her legal fees covered by Justin, whom she paid to fight the defamation case against him. She cited a #MeToo law, which supports her request for receiving a lump sum from her It Ends With Us co-star. Amid this, a new source has emerged, who joined forces with Blake and accused Justin of ill-treatment.

Why is Blake Lively seeking millions from Justin Baldoni?

Blake Lively is seeking millions from Justin Baldoni for legal fees and damages following the dismissal of a USD 400 million defamation lawsuit she filed against him. The issue came to light after NBC News obtained the relevant documents that Blake submitted to the court. Her motion is part of an ongoing legal battle that began with Blake's own lawsuit, filed in December 2024.

The charges brought against Justin were of sexual harassment and of orchestrating a requital smear campaign against Blake, during the filming of It Ends With Us. The actress's lawyers stated that she'll pursue a multi-million-dollar award to cover her defence costs. The legal counsel described Justin's claims as 'frivolous,' justifying why Blake was 'entitled' to receive monetary compensation from him.

The motion, filed by the Gossip Girl fame on September 7, 2025, cites a California law intended to protect sexual harassment survivors from retaliatory lawsuits, positioning Blake Lively's case as a key test of the legislation. They argued that Justin's dismissed lawsuit was intended to silence Blake, and that the California law was specifically designed to hold harassers accountable for using the legal system in this manner.

A new source brought new allegations against Justin Baldoni

A new, unnamed source has accused Justin Baldoni of verbal abuse on a project unrelated to the film, It Ends With Us, as reported by PEOPLE. It comes amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively. The individual claimed to have had 'repeated, negative interactions' with Justin, having to face verbal abuse. Another source shared that the new accuser of the actor has agreed to testify in the Lively vs. Wayfarer Studios case, scheduled to take place on March 9, 2026, in New York.

Previous instances of individuals accusing Justin Baldoni of misconduct

On February 18, 2025, Blake Lively's attorneys filed an amended lawsuit, claiming that two additional female cast members of It Ends With Us had faced similar misconduct from Justin Bladoni. As per Blake, those women have come forward to report feeling uncomfortable with Justin's on-set behaviour. Thus, the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni case can be said to have taken on a #MeToo angle, with multiple women voicing their grievances against the actor.

How did the Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni case become so publicised?

On December 21, 2024, The New York Times published an article detailing Blake Lively's complaint and the alleged smear campaign against her by Justin Baldoni. The report cited text messages involving Justin and his PR team discussing how to manage the situation and 'bury' Blake. Due to the hate Justin received after the news was out, he was dropped by his talent agency, WME. Later in that month, Justin and his production company filed a USD 250 million libel lawsuit against the media house. It led to an escalation of the already publicised affair, drawing in immense public attention.
