Blake Lively vs Justin Baldoni: Actress REACTS to Judge throwing out $400 million lawsuit; says 'Will stand for every woman's right to have a voice'
A federal judge on Monday, dismissed actor and director 's $400 million lawsuit against , marking a significant development in the contentious legal battle surrounding their film It Ends With Us. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the wake of the ruling, Lively issued a powerful statement reaffirming her commitment to women's rights and the fight against retaliatory lawsuits. Taking to her Instagram stories, Blake wrote, 'Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back. I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story. There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organizations below for resources and information. With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.' The lawsuit stemmed from Lively's December 2024 filing accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment during the production of their romantic drama. Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, countersued in January for $400 million, alleging defamation, extortion, and loss of creative control. However, US District Court Judge Lewis Liman ruled that the director's defamation claims could not proceed because allegations made in a lawsuit are exempt from libel claims. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He also ruled that the director's claims that Lively stole creative control of the film didn't count as extortion under California law. Furthermore, Liman found that Wayfarer Studios did not provide sufficient evidence that Lively was contractually obligated to promote the film or approve marketing materials. Baldoni's legal team can revise the lawsuit if they want to pursue different claims related to whether Lively breached a contract, the judge said. Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, welcomed the ruling and indicated that they would now seek attorneys' fees and additional damages. 'We look forward to the next round,' they said in a joint statement. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for The New York Times, which had reported on the legal dispute, expressed gratitude for the court's recognition of the press's role. 'The court recognized that the law is designed to protect just that sort of journalism,' said spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander. The case has garnered significant public attention, not only due to the high-profile nature of the parties involved—including Lively's husband, actor Ryan Reynolds—but also because of the broader conversation around women's rights in the entertainment industry.

Digital battleground: Meme war takes over Ludhiana West byelection campaigning
As political campaigns in Ludhiana West Assembly constituency become intense ahead of the bypoll, a parallel contest is playing out—not on the ground, but in the digital realm. A series of freshly created social media pages have transformed political campaigning into a meme war, with supporters and critics using satire, animation, and viral formats to sway public opinion. Two of the most talked-about pages are 'Punjab Bolda' and 'Ludhiana Viral Stories'. While Punjab Bolda appears to focus solely on the Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu, the page has taken a sharp critical tone. It regularly uploads edited videos portraying Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu in a negative light—often overlaying his image on movie villains or video game characters, complete with dramatic background music and popular film dialogues. On the other hand, Ludhiana Viral Stories and BJP Ludhiana Lok Sabha page seems to target the Aam Aadmi Party's candidate, Sanjeev Arora. From sarcastic memes to animated clips, the page has used humour to mock Arora's campaign promises and public appearances. Scenes from Bollywood and south Indian films have been creatively re-edited to depict him in exaggerated or comic scenarios. Apart from these, several other pages, like 'Fan Ashu De', have emerged, seemingly in support of individual candidates. But even these often engage in subtle digs at the opposition, blurring the line between support and attack. What makes this digital battle even more compelling is the level of creativity—some videos are crafted with high production quality, complete with voice-overs, graphics, and punch lines that reflect the online community's flair for satire. These viral clips and memes are being widely shared across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, especially among younger voters. While some view it as harmless fun or modern-day political commentary, others worry that such content may lead to misinformation or character assassination.
