Blake Lively awarded $400K of $8M sought in legal fees from Justin Baldoni

–

Neutral summary

A federal judge in New York ruled that Blake Lively can recover just over $400,000 in attorney’s fees and costs from Justin Baldoni, a fraction of the roughly $8 million she had requested. The judge called the request an “outrageously unreasonable demand” and said the “number of hours for which Lively seeks reimbursement is unreasonable.” The ruling came after Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively was dismissed and the two settled their dispute over the production of the 2024 film “It Ends With Us.”
