The legal battle between actress Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and director Justin Baldoni takes a significant turn with the filing of a notice stating their intention to dismiss Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit.
The legal battle between actress Blake Lively , her husband Ryan Reynolds , and director Justin Baldoni has taken another turn with the filing of a notice by Lively and Reynolds' legal team. This notice, submitted to Judge Lewis J. Liman on Thursday, January 30th, in accordance with the judge's instructions, clearly states the defendants' intent to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against them.
This move follows a similar notice filed by Lively and Reynolds' co-defendant, publicist Leslie Sloane, on Wednesday, January 28th. Both notices signal a potential shift in the case strategy ahead of a pre-trial conference scheduled for Monday, February 3rd. Michael J. Gottlieb, attorney for Lively, Reynolds, and Wayfarer Studios LLC, penned the letter to Judge Liman, stating 'The Lively-Reynolds Parties intend to move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ complaint.' While an official motion requesting dismissal has not yet been filed, it is expected imminently.This high-profile case, which centers around accusations of defamation and extortion, has been generating significant media attention. Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their associated entities, alleging that they orchestrated a campaign to damage his reputation and career after he was involved in the production of a film based on a book by Lively. Baldoni claims that Lively and Reynolds exerted undue influence to prevent the film's success and ultimately hijacked the project for their own gain. Lively and her legal team have vehemently denied these allegations, characterizing them as 'false, outrageous and intentionally salacious' and a desperate attempt to shift blame. The case promises further twists and turns as legal proceedings continue
