N.Y. judge tosses Justin Baldoni's $400M lawsuit against Blake Lively
1 of 3 | Actress Blake Lively (L) and husband Ryan Reynolds (R) arrived April 9 on the red carpet at the 2025 TIME100 Gala Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 9 (UPI) -- A New York judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400M lawsuit against actress Blake Lively. Federal Judge Lewis Liman of New York's southern district accepted the motion to dismiss the multi-million-dollar counter lawsuit filed by Baldoni that alleged defamation and extortion. In addition, the judge, likewise, tossed out a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. "The [parties in the suit known as the] Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged," Liman wrote in his 132-page ruling. "The Wayfarer Parties' additional claims also fail," the judge added. "Accordingly, the Amended Complaint must be dismissed in its entirety." However, Liman noted that Baldoni, 41, will still have the legal option to amend his claims for breach of implied covenant and contract interference with a June 23 deadline. The It Ends With Us director Baldoni was accused in December of sexual harassment by his co-star Lively, which Baldoni claimed was "categorically false." In January, Baldoni filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times over an article that "falsely" detailed Lively's allegations during filming. Lively, 37, claimed in her California Civil Rights Department complaint filed Dec. 20 that the harassment damaged her business and caused her family, including husband actor Ryan Reynolds, "severe emotional distress" and after the suit alleged Reynolds called Baldoni a "sexual predator." On Monday, lawyers for Lively -- Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb -- called the court decision a "total victory and a complete vindication." "As we have said from day one, this $400 million lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it," they said in the statement, adding they look forward to the "next round," which will be to seek attorney fees, treble and punitive damages. Discovery+ announced plans in March to air a docuseries in Britain this month called Baldoni vs. Lively: A Hollywood Feud. Meanwhile, the trial for Baldoni and Lively, which was scheduled for March 26, was expected to see both names testify.

Cole Escola makes Tony Awards history as first nonbinary best leading actor in a play
Cole Escola makes Tony Awards history as first nonbinary best leading actor in a play Show Caption Hide Caption First-Time Tony nominee Cole Escola proclaims love for Broadway First-time Tony nominee Cole Escola "loves broadway and doesn't care who knows it!" on the red carpet at 2025 Tonys. Cole Escola made history at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday night. Escola, the deranged genius behind "Oh, Mary!", won best leading actor in a play for their inspired turn as first lady Mary Todd Lincoln. They're now the first nonbinary performer to win in that Tony category. Channeling Bernadette Peters in an off-the-shoulder Wiederhoeft gown, Escola feverishly sprinted to the stage and thanked fellow best actor nominees including George Clooney and Daniel Dae Kim during the show Sunday, June 8. "It's an honor to be in your company," Escola said. "It's been a sincere pleasure spending time with you over these warm salads at all these (Tony) luncheons." They continued to thank their mom and their "whole gang" of friends: "Oh, and Tebow from Grindr and Amy Sedaris, who always reminds me how important she is to me. And she is." Tony Awards biggest moments: Cynthia Erivo holds space, Nicole Scherzinger wins big Written by Escola, "Oh, Mary!" imagines Lincoln as an alcoholic wannabe cabaret star and her husband, Abraham (Conrad Ricamora), as a closeted, temperamental commander-in-chief. Asked by reporters whether they would consider an Eleanor Roosevelt comedy next, Escola joked that she is "played out. It would have to be something original, not another historical figure." Review: Believe the hype about Broadway's gloriously irreverent 'Oh, Mary!' The singular playwright had some choice four-letter words for people who refuse to take chances on queer art; later, they sardonically compared the best actress showdown to a presidential election. ("Four more years!" they deadpanned when Scherzinger won.) But Escola had earnest moments, too, as they looked back at the unlikely phenomenon around "Oh, Mary!" "Trust that voice that says, 'I think I'm right actually,'" Escola said. "It might take 12 years to put the pen to paper, but that voice is right." In 2023, "Shucked" scene-stealer Alex Newell and "Some Like It Hot" breakout J. Harrison Ghee had history-making wins as the first nonbinary stars to take home awards during the biggest night in Broadway. Newell took home best featured actor in a musical and Ghee earned best actor in a musical. Watch a star-studded 'Hamilton' performance at the 2025 Tony Awards 2025 Tony Awards winners One musical had a standout night at the Tonys, which celebrated the biggest in Broadway and featured hosting from Cynthia Erivo and a star-studded "Hamilton" reunion.

Cole Escola References Nicole Scherzinger's Trump-Coded Hat Drama After Big Tonys Win
Cole Escola hasn't forgotten about Nicole Scherzinger's eyebrow-raising interest in a hat featuring a variation on President Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan, even if much of the Broadway community appears to have moved past it. Shortly after their Tony Award win for 'Oh, Mary!' on Sunday, Escola offered a pointed reminder of the controversy that ensued when Scherzinger inquired about Russell Brand's MAGA-inspired 'Make Jesus First Again' hat on Instagram last fall. 'The speculating is over,' Escola quipped to reporters in the Tonys press room upon receiving word that Scherzinger had won Best Actress in a Musical for her career-redefining 'Sunset Boulevard' performance. They went on to note: 'Four years. Four more years!' After winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play, Cole Escola was speaking to the press when Nicole Scherzinger won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, and they had a hilarious reaction: "four more years." — Newsweek (@Newsweek) June 9, 2025 Scherzinger was hit with backlash from fans in early November, not long after 'Sunset Boulevard' opened to critical acclaim on Broadway. Just days after Trump was reelected, she posted a supportive comment on an image of Brand ― who backed Trump in the 2024 election ― in his 'Make Jesus First Again' hat. 'Where do I get this hat?' Scherzinger wrote in the now-deleted comment, alongside both praying hands and red heart emojis. Days later, she responded to the criticism with a lengthy apology on her Instagram Stories, stating she'd 'made the mistake of not realizing that [her comment] could be easily interpreted as being politically related.' 'Many presumptions are being drawn, which do not reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who I voted for,' she continued, according to Entertainment Weekly. 'Many of the marginalized communities feeling hurt and concerned by the results of the presidential election are people I care about most. I stand with them, as I always have, throughout my life and career. If you know me, you know that.' Scherzinger, a devout Catholic, did not specify which candidate she'd voted for in her statement. At the time, many suggested her lack of clarity regarding her views might hurt her chances at Sunday's Tony Awards ― which clearly wasn't the case when she secured her win over the category's other presumed frontrunner, 'Gypsy' star Audra McDonald. Escola became the first openly nonbinary winner in the Best Actor in a Play category for their performance as first lady Mary Todd Lincoln in 'Oh, Mary!' The dark comedy, which Escola wrote, also nabbed the award for Best Direction of a Play for Sam Pinkleton.
