In December 2024, the rift began after Lively filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on film’s set and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

However, Baldoni denied the allegations and he responded with a $400 million countersuit against Lively, Reynolds and the actress’ publicist, accusing them of defamation.

“The painful reality is that Ms. Lively is not alone in being sued for defamation after speaking up about being sexually harassed at work,” Lively’s spokesperson said in a statement.

To note, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s trial is scheduled for next year.
