Blake Lively feels “vindicated” after a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against her.

“Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds,” the “Gossip Girl” alum’s attorneys Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb told Page Six in a statement Monday.

“As we have said from day one, this ‘$400 million’ lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it.”

“Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds,” her attorneys told Page Six in a statement Monday. GC Images

Lively’s attorneys shared that they plan on “seeking attorneys’ fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni” for bringing the “abusive litigation.”

The actress also took to her Instagram Stories to discuss the dismissal, writing, “Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit.

“While the suit against me was defeated, so many don’t have the resources to fight back,” she said, adding she’s “more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman’s right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.”

“With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don’t. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you,” Lively concluded.

Lively’s legal team spoke out shortly after the judge tossed the “Jane the Virgin” star’s defamation lawsuit against Lively and Reynolds as well as his $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Judge Lewis J. Liman wrote that Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, “have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged.”

Liman explained that the producer’s complaint “alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the ‘Times’ made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.”

“The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the ‘Times’ would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law,” he continued.

Baldoni’s legal team has yet to respond to the ruling.

Rumors of a feud between Lively and Baldoni began swirling in August 2024 during promotion for their film, “It Ends With Us.”

Lively, 37, filed a complaint against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment before filing a formal lawsuit one week later.

She also accused her co-star/director of organizing a smear campaign to ruin her reputation, which she claimed caused emotional distress.

The “Age of Adaline” star, however, moved to withdraw her emotional distress claims last week after Baldoni’s attorneys requested access to her medical and mental health records.

The judge denied Lively’s request for a dismissal without prejudice — meaning she could refile them at a later time.

Baldoni, 41, has maintained his innocence and denied her allegations.

Hailey Bieber is always on top of the trends.

In a new Instagram carousel, Hailey Bieber modeled a variety of risqué black string bikinis with long nails in a soft butter yellow shade, the season’s hottest color trend.

Striking poses on the beach, the Rhode founder, 28, flaunted her toned figure in the teeny-tiny string swimwear, which she paired with a black cowboy hat, long-sleeve shrug and oversized gold statement earrings in one pic.

Bieber smoldered in a second classic black bikini, taking cute, racy selfies in the same top with a similar bottom and sunglasses while hanging out in the ocean.

In other images, the businesswoman showed off an even cheekier light gray bikini, with one of her Rhode eye patches stamped on her butt, right below the thong-style bottoms. She covered up on top with a matching hoodie.

Bieber also teased Rhode’s upcoming Glazing Mist, which launches on June 24, while wearing a black tank top elsewhere in the slideshow.

Plus, the model posted snaps of her martini, a cake that said “proud of you!” — presumably referring to her billion-dollar Rhode sale — and a clip frolicking in the water.

However, it was her caption that caught some eagle-eyed followers’ attention. “lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long. 👍🍋🍸” Bieber first captioned the carousel amid concern over husband Justin Bieber’s bizarre social media posts.

Fans noticed that Bieber later tweaked the caption, removing the therapy reference.

“Wait didn’t this post just say “therapy and lemon drop martinis all day long”? Am I now hallucinating insta posts?” one followed observed.

Another added, “why did you delete the therapy part friend” while a third said, “Too many people already screenshotted the “therapy” part 😂 too late to change it Hailey.”

Brynn Whitfield’s time on “The Real Housewives of New York City” has come to an end.

The marketing consultant announced she’s “[walking] away from reality TV … for now” after two seasons on the Bravo show.

“Last week, Hoppy — the dating app I co-founded and proudly serve as Chief Marketing Officer — hit a massive download milestone. I can’t even put into words how surreal it feels. All I want to do now is pour every ounce of energy into building Hoppy into the #1 dating app in the world,” she shared in a statement via Instagram Stories Monday.

Whitfield, 39, went on to thank “every person who gave [her] a chance, cheered [her] on, and afforded [her] love and grace.”

“‘The Real Housewives of New York’ will always be one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life,” she wrote. “It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise. From day one, I’ve believed RHONY is a fan’s show — we’re just temporary custodians of something that truly belongs to the viewers.

“I hope I made you laugh (a lot), cry (a little), and more than anything — I hope there’s a TV in heaven so that Mimi (who LIVED for her shows) could watch me and be proud,” she said, referencing her late grandmother, Darlene, who was her mother figure before passing away in March 2021 at 81.

“I’m the only one that works a full-time job on my cast,” she said on the “Trading Secrets” podcast in April. Getty Images
Andy Cohen shared in May that casting was “heavily underway” for Season 16 of “RHONY.” Jocelyn Prescod/Bravo

Whitfield then plugged her “Please See Below” podcast, in which she has “never felt more me,” before announcing the release of her book “later this year.”

She concluded her post by referencing her “RHONY” taglines, saying, “We’re done dating his dad. It’s time to steal his inheritance.”

The marketing executive leaving to focus on her business endeavors isn’t all too surprising, as she constantly shaded her castmates — Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Raquel Chevremont, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons and Jessel Taank — by claiming she’s the only one with a full-time job.

The iconic reality show got a whole new cast in Season 14, with Racquel Chevremont joining soon after. Danielle Levitt/Bravo via Getty Images

“I’m the only one that works a full-time job on my cast,” she said on the “Trading Secrets” podcast in April.

“We have influencers, we have models, we have art curators [De Silva, Hassan, Chevremont]. We have people that did work at J. Crew three years ago but now they’re just, like, honorary positions [Lyons]. We have, like, a real estate agent that hasn’t sold a house in seven years [Lichy].

The news comes just one month after Bravo boss Andy Cohen denied the rumor that “RHONY” was getting canceled. In fact, he assured that casting was “heavily underway” and Bravo execs had already met with 10 potential new “Housewives.”

She’s happier than ever.

Billie Eilish confirmed her romance with Nat Wolff as they passionately kissed while spending time together in Italy.

According to photos obtained by Page Six, the “Birds of a Feather” singer and the “Naked Brothers Band” alum made out as they chilled on a balcony in Venice while sipping Champagne and soaking up the sun on Saturday.

Wolff and Eilish first sparked dating rumors earlier this year when they were spotted quietly leaving the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025 together in March.

However, a source close to the pop star insisted they were “close friends” and “nothing more.”

“Billie is affectionate with all of her friends,” the insider added.

That same month, Page Six obtained exclusive photos of the “The Fault in Our Stars” actor and the “Bad Guy” songstress bar hopping together in New York City.

A source told us at the time that the pair was “very affectionate” while going to several local bars, including Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming and the Phoenix.

In November 2023, Eilish revealed that she was physically attracted to women but was “intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.”

The following month, she confirmed she was queer.

“I didn’t [know I was coming out], but I kinda thought, wasn’t it obvious?” she told Variety on the red carpet for the Variety Hitmakers Brunch at the time.

“I didn’t realize people didn’t know,” the musician added.

Dakota Johnson, who recently split from Chris Martin, has a no “a–hole” dating policy.

On Monday, the actress and her “Materialists” co-star Chris Evans stopped by the “Today” show, where host Craig Melvin asked, “If either of you were to engage with a real-life matchmaker, what would be one non-negotiable for you?”

After Evans explained that his prospective partner “must love dogs,” Johnson issued her scathing response.

“Like, not an a–hole,” she blurted out, which elicited a laugh from both the audience and those on set with her.

“That’s concise,” Evans, 43, said with a chuckle. “There it is! Nail on the head.”

Last Wednesday, Johnson, 35, hinted in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that she and Martin, 48, had parted ways.

Asked what made her role in “Materialists” “feel different for her,” she replied, “The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. Everyone being confused about what the f–k they’re supposed to do with their hearts and what’s the right move. I found that very honest, and I found it just so relatable.”

She continued, “For a long time, we’ve all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world, when people should get married, divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn’t matter.”

Hours later, People reported that Johnson and Martin — who dated on and off for nearly eight years — had broken up for good, with a source claiming, “It feels final this time.”

Johnson then stepped out sans engagement ring, which Page Six was previously told Martin gave her about two years into their relationship.

According to the US Sun, the movie star and the musician — who shares daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19, with his ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow — called it quits for two main reasons: their age gap and the topic of kids.

“They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem,” a source told the outlet.

“She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life,” the source added, making sure to note that there was not a lack of love between the two.

In fact, Martin showed he still cares for his former flame when he ended a Coldplay concert over the weekend by telling the audience, “Thank you so much, everybody. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to each other. Don’t forget to see ‘Materialists.’ We love you.”

Reps for Johnson and Martin have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Judge tosses Justin Baldoni’s $400M lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds in shocking legal twist https://lemonfire.com.br/judge-tosses-justin-baldonis-400m-lawsuit-against-blake-lively-ryan-reynolds/ https://lemonfire.com.br/judge-tosses-justin-baldonis-400m-lawsuit-against-blake-lively-ryan-reynolds/#respond Mon, 09 Jun 2025 19:24:59 +0000 https://lemonfire.com.br/judge-tosses-justin-baldonis-400m-lawsuit-against-blake-lively-ryan-reynolds/ It ends here.

It ends here.

Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, was tossed out on Monday in a shocking legal twist.

Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to dismiss the actor’s January countersuit — as well as his $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times — according to documents obtained by Page Six.

Liman wrote that Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios production company “have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her [California Civil Rights Department] complaint, which are privileged.”

Lively, notably, made headlines for her complaint, in which she accused her “It Ends With Us” co-star of sexual harassment, in December 2024.

The judge explained that Baldoni’s lawsuit “alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the ‘Times’ made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign.”

However, Liman continued, “The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the ‘Times’ would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law.”

Baldoni’s legal team has until June 23 to amend their claims for breach of implied covenant (suggesting that terms agreed upon in their legal agreement were violated) and tortious interference with contract (intentionally disrupting the relationship or contractual agreement between parties, potentially leading to significant financial damages and reputational harm).

Reps for Reynolds and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Lively’s lawyers, Esra Hudson & Mike Gottlieb, celebrated the decision as a “total victory and a complete vindication” for the actress in a statement to Page Six.

The attorneys wrote, “As we have said from day one, this ‘$400 million’ lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it.

They are “look[ing] forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys’ fees, treble damages and punitive damages” over the “abusive litigation.”

Lively and Baldoni sparked feud rumors when their project, which was adapted from Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name, premiered in August 2024.

Shortly after filing her complaint last year, Lively officially sued the “Jane the Virgin” alum for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.

News broke last week that Baldoni’s lawsuit was in jeopardy since it relied largely on a text from journalist James Vituscka claiming Lively’s publicist told him the “Gossip Girl” alum was “sexually assaulted” by Baldoni — which the reporter has since walked back.

“I meant to say, ‘sexually harassed,’” Vituscka wrote in a legal declaration Friday. “I regret this error.”

Additionally, Lively requested to withdraw her claims that she suffered from “intentional infliction of emotional distress” and “negligent infliction of emotional distress” as a result of Baldoni’s alleged misconduct. However, this request was denied by Liman.

All eyes were on Cole Escola last night.

The “Oh, Mary!” star, 38, attended the Tony Awards 2025 in New York City, paying tribute to Bernadette Peters in a silvery-blue gown.

Escola’s Wiederhoeft confection was inspired by the dress the actress wore to the Tony Awards in 1999, when she won the award for best leading actress in a musical for “Annie Get Your Gun.”

“It’s my favorite blue, I call it Cinderella blue,” Escola told People on the red carpet about the dress.

Adorned with hand-embroidered metallic blue glass beads, their custom Wiederhoeft look featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, corset-style bodice and a floor-grazing taffeta train.

The actor, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as non-binary, also nodded to Peters with an aburun curly wig reminiscent of her signature look.

“Initially speaking about this look with David and Cole, we were really inspired by Bernadette Peters’ look from the 1999 Tony Awards,” designer Jackson Wiederhoeft said in press release. “We were all obsessed with the color and the medals on the front, a sense of fake naiveté.”

The designer added, “We found ourselves inspired by additional themes of faded crypticism, false innocence, fightfulness, womanly age-hold historically feminine garments, queenly status and ancient doors.”

Escola earned five nominations for their performance in “Oh, Mary!,” including best play and best leading actor in a play, with the star taking home the latter award — and making history in the process.

Not only was Escola the first openly non-binary actor to win in the category, but also the first person to win the award for a play they wrote themselves since Harvey Fierstein did so in 1983.

They shouted out the category’s other nominees, George Clooney, Jon Michael Hill, Daniel Dae Kim, Harry Lennix and Louis McCartney while on stage.

“It’s an honor to be in your company, and more than that, it’s been a sincere pleasure spending time with you over these warm salads at all these lunches,” Escola said.

“First of all, hi mom. I love you. I’ll call you when I can,” they added during their acceptance speech.

“Oh, Mary!” is a dark comedy that follows first lady Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.
