A federal judge has dismissed 10 out of 13 claims in Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, including serious allegations such as sexual harassment and defamation. This leaves only three claims to be decided in a trial set for May 18, 2026: breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation. Political commentator Candace Owens, who was subpoenaed in the case, took to social media to celebrate the dismissal, stating, 'truth wins.' Lively's attorney, Sigrid McCawley, clarified that the dismissal of the sexual harassment claims was due to Lively being classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee. The remaining claims focus on allegations that Baldoni orchestrated a campaign to damage Lively's reputation after she raised safety concerns on set.
