Blake Lively's victory tour continues as she makes gloating speech at drinks event after Justin Baldoni win
Blake Lively was still reveling in the joy of her blockbuster Justin Baldoni win this week as she made a gushing speech at an event for her drinks company.
The It Ends With Us actress, 37, was full of joy as told fans how 'proud' she was of her company and reveled in meeting fans amid her seemingly never-ending legal wrangle.
The event was held at Maxwell Social House in New York City on June 11 for the debut of two new vodka iced teas Meyer Lemonade and Passion Fruit.
'We spent so much time on every single flavor, genuinely,' Lively said during her speech at the event, adding that 'they really are from recipes in my home, something that we make over and over again.'
She added that it is 'really fun to celebrate with you guys' and 'we're so proud to be here,' People reported.
Earlier this week, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Blake.
The judge told Baldoni and his team at Wayfarer Studios that they can amend two claims by June 23.
Those claims are related to breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract.
Meanwhile, Blake and her legal team are over the moon and consider it a significant legal victory.
'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it.'
Baldoni is reportedly dejected by the outcome, according to his attorney Bryan Freedman.
TMZ reported that Baldoni thought the decision was 'not fair,' calling him 'a person who wants to be vindicated.'
'He's waiting for his day in court, where he can speak out to tell the truth.'
The trial is set for March 2026.

Freedman went on to say 'We got started because Blake Lively filed a CRD complaint and then walked over and filed a lawsuit,' he said.
That lawsuit, 'accused some very good people of a smear campaign and accused a terrific young man of sexual harassment - both of the which were completely untrue.'
'And that's where the case got started' and 'where the case stands today.'
'What we wanted our win is to show there was no smear campaign, and there's no sexual harassment,' Freedman explained.
'And she hasn't proved a thing - as a matter of fact, it's just the opposite.'
He continued: 'Look at the facts, look at what's been shown, look at the receipts, look at the video.'
Freedman told the outlet that proving the claims Lively made to be false has always been the chief focus for Baldoni's team, 'in addition to getting damages.'
He said he was hoping Lively didn't 'drop her lawsuit ... because she's on a false victory tour, and she's afraid of the truth.
Blake looked lovely at the event in a mid-thigh length skirt and jacket in a blue, purple, yellow and green.
She wore the skirt suit over a white camisole and slipped her feet into blue peep-toed heels.
The mom of four wore her long blonde hair in a saucy ponytail.
Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, are parents to daughters James, 10, Inez, eight and Betty, five, as well as son Olin, two.
