Judge Throws Out $400 Million Justin Baldoni Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have been involved with quite the legal debacle, and now a judge has moved things to a new level, having thrown out the $400 million defamation suit that Justin Baldoni filed against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. As shared via Variety, the judge found 'that her accusations of sexual harassment were legally protected and therefore immune from suit.' As a result, 'Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's entire lawsuit – which also alleged extortion and other claims – but allowed him to amend and refile a couple of allegations regarding interference with contracts.' Lively's lawyers shared the following statement regarding the 'total victory' for the situation: 'Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times,' the statement begins. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it. We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.' The legal protection allowed the judge to make this ruling is known as 'the litigation privilege,' which the outlet explains 'immunizes legal claims from defamation actions.' Other privileges mentioned as having an impact on this ruling include the 'fair report' privilege. Justin Baldoni accused Reynolds in the suit for having called him a 'sexual predator,' thus the defamation, but the judge noted that this comment was based on Lively's version of the events, and because he did not have a reason to doubt them, believed it was okay. He additionally applied the same logic to Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane. Now Lively's complaint against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios is being scheduled to take place in March 2026. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively as we have them. The debacle between the two celebrities is far from over, and now that Baldoni had his defamation lawsuit thrown out, we'll have to see what happens next for him and Lively.

Minnesota rep killed made headlines days earlier over vote on benefits for illegal aliens
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman, who was fatally shot on Saturday with the suspect still at large, made headlines earlier this week for being the only Democratic vote in the state House to vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants. "I know that people will be hurt by that vote and I'm – we worked very hard to try and get a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision," she said following the vote that she said was done in order to move the budget forward in a split legislature, according to KTTC. Republicans hold the House 67-66, and the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party holds the Senate 34-33. Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also shot on Saturday and are hospitalized following surgery. Hortman's husband also died in the shooting. All four victims are presumed to have been shot by the same suspect who pretended to be a police officer. According to Alpha News, Hoffman voted against the proposal but Gov. Tim Walz is expected to sign it into law as part of the budget agreement. Four state senators also voted for the repeal. Although it's believed to be politically motivated, the specific motive is unclear as of Saturday afternoon. Minnesota State Patrol posted a photo to X on Saturday showing "No Kings" signs in the suspect's vehicle. "No Kings" is the name of the nationwide series of protests happening on Saturday in opposition to the Trump administration. "Given the targeted shootings of state lawmakers overnight, we are asking the public to not attend today's planned demonstrations across Minnesota out of an abundance of caution," MSP wrote. The tragedy led to an outpouring of messages from both sides of the aisle. "I have been briefed on the terrible shooting that took place in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack against State Lawmakers," Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday. "Our Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the FBI, are investigating the situation, and they will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law. Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!" Hortman was formerly the state House speaker. "Our state lost a great leader," Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference following the shootings. "Speaker Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor and a sense of service. She was a formidable public servant, a fixture, and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. She is irreplaceable and will be missed by so many Minnesotans," the Democrat and former 2024 vice presidential nominee continued.
