Lawyers for actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni return to a Manhattan federal courtroom even though claims have been settled. The dispute relates to allegations tied to the 2024 film “It Ends With Us.” Although Lively’s claims against Baldoni are reported to have been settled weeks earlier, legal proceedings continue in court, with attorneys arguing issues in the case despite the parties themselves not appearing in person. The reports describe the conflict as an ongoing courtroom battle limited to lawyers and procedural developments following the settlement rather than a renewed fight over the underlying allegations. The coverage indicates the case remains active on the docket and that further steps—such as final resolution terms, related motions, or remaining legal issues—are still being handled in federal court. Both outlets characterize the situation as the litigation not fully concluded despite the settlement of Lively’s claims. The ongoing court appearance is therefore presented as a continuation of the case’s legal process after the earlier settlement announcement.
