"This case has always been and will remain focused on the devastating retaliation and the extraordinary steps the defendants took to destroy Blake Lively's reputation because she stood up for safety on the set and that is the case that is going to trial."
"For Blake Lively, the greatest measure of justice is that the people and the playbook behind these coordinated digital attacks have been exposed and are already being held accountable by other women they've targeted."
"Sexual harassment isn't going forward not because the defendants did nothing wrong but because the court determined Blake Lively was an independent contractor, not an employee."
"We're very pleased the Court dismissed all sexual harassment claims and every claim brought against the individual defendants: Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Melissa Nathan, and Jennifer Abel."
Blake Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni will proceed with three claims related to breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting in retaliation. A judge dismissed most claims, including sexual harassment and defamation. Lively's legal team emphasizes the focus on retaliation and the impact on her reputation. They aim to expose coordinated digital attacks against her. Baldoni's legal representatives expressed satisfaction with the dismissal of sexual harassment claims, stating the court's decision was based on Lively's status as an independent contractor.
