The legal conflict between actress Blake Lively and her 'It Ends With Us' co-star and director Justin Baldoni continues as Lively seeks damages in a federal court in Manhattan. Following Baldoni's USD 400 million defamation lawsuit against her, which has since been dismissed, Lively's team aims to present expert testimony to assess the financial impact of the allegations on her career and reputation. They assert that the lawsuit caused significant harm, justifying claims for enhanced damages, including treble and punitive damages, as well as attorney's fees. Conversely, Baldoni's legal representatives argue that reopening the case for damages would be redundant and could complicate the resolution process. Judge Liman has shown doubt regarding the feasibility of addressing such complex claims outside of a full jury trial. Lively's lawyer emphasized the seriousness of the damages incurred, highlighting the need for compensation not only for losses but also for legal expenses.
