Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. A judge dismissed 10 of the 13 allegations in her case, leaving three claims: breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation.

Baldoni’s counter-lawsuit against Lively and her husband also faced dismissal by the judge. He had sought $400 million for defamation related to Lively’s claims, while she alleged that she lost $161 million due to a smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni.

Key points from the legal battle:

• The film It Ends With Us is based on a best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover.
• Evidence included texts between Lively and Taylor Swift discussing Baldoni.
• Lively accused Baldoni of inserting gratuitous sexual content into the film.

The joint statement from both actors emphasized their commitment to raising awareness for domestic violence survivors. They acknowledged that the process presented challenges but asserted that concerns raised by Lively deserved to be heard.

Baldoni claimed that Lively attempted to ruin his career with her allegations. He stated, “The end product – the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ – is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life.” Both parties expressed hope that this resolution allows everyone involved to move forward constructively.
