Actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are involved in a federal court settlement conference in New York concerning Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni, stemming from their collaboration on “It Ends With Us.” Lively filed a complaint in December 2024 alleging sexual harassment and a campaign to damage her reputation, seeking $500 million in damages. Baldoni countersued for $400 million, claiming extortion and defamation; however, his suit has since been dismissed. The settlement conference aims to resolve the matter before a scheduled trial on May 18.
