Summary
Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni has taken another turn, with a judge denying her request to have Baldoni pay her legal fees. The decision comes after the two settled their case last week, with Lively receiving no damages. The judge had already dismissed 10 of Lively’s 13 claims in March. Lively had sought to recover tens of millions of dollars in legal fees, citing the Protecting Survivors from Weaponized Defamation Lawsuits Act.
Our Reading
The legal bill arrives with a denial.
Blake Lively’s attempt to get Justin Baldoni to pay her legal fees has been shut down by a judge. The fees, which reportedly total tens of millions of dollars, were incurred during their settled legal battle. Lively had argued that she was entitled to recovery of her fees and damages based on Baldoni’s defamation countersuit. The judge’s decision is just the latest development in a case that has seen Lively’s claims largely dismissed.
Apparently, you can’t always get paid for trying to get paid.
