A judge rules that Blake Lively is entitled to recover legal fees and costs related to part of her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, according to multiple reports. The decision is described as a partial win for Lively, because it covers her defense against a countersuit brought by Baldoni rather than resolving all claims between the parties. The courts’ award is limited to attorneys’ fees tied to a portion of the litigation, and the final amount is not yet determined, as reported by outlets including The New York Times. Several sources also note the case involves Baldoni and Lively’s professional relationship, including a shared film. In addition, the court rules that Lively cannot recover further damages connected to Baldoni’s countersuit. The Hollywood Reporter adds that the judge rejects a request for additional damages under a California law intended to protect people who report sexual harassment and assault, finding she is not entitled to those extra damages. Overall, the ruling focuses on payment of legal fees and costs for part of the dispute while denying other forms of recovery.
