Court dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit against Blake Lively; rules her harassment claims are legally protected
In a major legal setback, Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has been dismissed by a judge. The court upheld that Lively's sexual harassment allegations are legally protected. Lively's legal team hailed the decision as a victory, planning to pursue attorneys' fees and damages against Baldoni, accusing him of abusive litigation. A judge on Monday threw out Justin Baldoni 's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds , ruling that Lively's sexual harassment allegations are legally protected and cannot be challenged in court. Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Justin Baldoni's sweeping $400 million lawsuit — which included claims of defamation, extortion, and more — ruling most of it legally baseless. However, the court granted Baldoni permission to amend and refile limited claims related to alleged interference with contracts. Blake Lively's legal team celebrated the court's decision, calling it 'a total victory and a complete vindication' not just for Lively, but also for those named in what they described as a 'retaliatory lawsuit,' including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane, and The New York Times. Labeling the $400 million suit a 'sham,' the lawyers said the court 'saw right through it.' They added that they now plan to pursue attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer co-founders and other parties involved in the 'abusive litigation. ' Blake Lively has filed a federal lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and retaliation. She alleges that Baldoni and the producers of It Ends With Us orchestrated a smear campaign against her after she raised concerns about working conditions on the film's set. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Justin Baldoni filed a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, claiming they conspired to ruin his career by spreading false allegations against him. In his Monday ruling, Judge Lewis J Liman found that the original allegations—filed with the California Civil Rights Department and later shared with The New York Times—were protected under litigation privilege, a legal safeguard that shields such claims from defamation lawsuits. Judge Liman also ruled that The New York Times was shielded by the 'fair report' privilege, which protects media outlets from defamation claims when reporting accurately on legal proceedings.

Gauri Khan's Restaurant Torii Saw 'Increased' Sales After Fake Paneer Row, Reveals Chef
Last Updated: Torii is Gauri Khan's first restaurant. It is located in Mumbai's Bandra. Gauri Khan's Torii was recently in the news after a content creator claimed that the restaurant served 'fake paneer". The claim was made on the basis of the iodine test that went viral on Instagram. The stakeholders issued a statement, denying this allegation and explaining the science behind the test. In a recent chat with SCREEN, Head Chef Stefan Gadit opened up about the impact of the controversy. Stefan said, 'It makes an impact when we point fingers at something baseless. The quality, the ingredients, everything we provide is top-notch; we had nothing to worry about. We issued the statement so that people could know what is happening and how things are done." He added, 'There is a lot of stuff going on with food chemistry and food science, it takes four years, just pouring something on something was just…don't get me wrong. He did that with his pure intentions, just wanted to check." When asked if he had spoken to the content creator, Stefan said, 'We did speak to the gentleman and tried to get a sense of how things are done in the culinary world and how food science works. He understood and took off the post. We, as a team, as the management, believe that people are smart enough to understand what was going on." Reflecting on how the controversy impacted business, Stefan shared, 'It increased our business and I got more than 20-30 followers on Instagram, so that was a blessing in disguise, I would say." For the unversed, Gauri Khan ventured into the hospitality industry with her debut restaurant, Torii, located in Mumbai's vibrant Bandra neighbourhood. The establishment, which opened its doors in February 2024, offers a unique blend of Latin-Asian fusion cuisine in a setting that reflects Khan's signature style. The name Torii is inspired by the traditional Japanese gate found at the entrance of Shinto shrines, symbolising the transition from the mundane to the sacred. Khan's design philosophy for the restaurant incorporates this concept, aiming to create an immersive dining experience that transports guests into a world of refined elegance. Culinary direction at Torii is led by Chef Stefan Gadit, whose international experience influences the innovative menu. First Published: June 09, 2025, 19:45 IST
