A federal judge has ordered Justin Baldoni and his production company to pay Blake Lively’s attorneys’ fees related to his dismissed defamation lawsuit, rejecting her request for additional damages. The ruling was based on California law protecting individuals who report sexual misconduct from retaliatory defamation claims, and found Baldoni’s side failed to prove Lively acted with malice. While her lawyers noted she could still seek further damages through other legal channels, the court denied her claim for punitive damages, and the amount to be paid has yet to be determined. The decision follows a settlement between both parties that preserved Lively’s rights to pursue additional claims.
