Blake Lively Fires Back at $400M Lawsuit Demands Baldoni & Studios Prove Their Losses
Blake Lively to Baldoni: You Want $400 Million Show the Receipts!
Blake Lively is taking a fierce stand in court, demanding Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios prove they actually lost $400 million — after suing her for that jaw-dropping amount in a high-profile legal showdown.
According to new legal documents filed Friday, Lively’s legal team is urging the judge to force Baldoni and the other plaintiffs to hand over complete financial records. Their message is simple: if you’re claiming hundreds of millions in damages, it’s time to back it up with hard evidence.
The “Gossip Girl” star’s lawyers say they’ve already asked Baldoni’s side nicely — but were only offered limited, non-privileged documents. That’s not good enough for Blake’s team, who want full transparency behind the massive sum they’re being sued for.
To refresh your memory: Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios are suing Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times for $400 million, accusing them of defamation and damage to reputation after Lively alleged sexual harassment and a targeted smear campaign by Baldoni.
Blake’s attorneys argue the plaintiffs must justify the massive figure they’re seeking — especially since “It Ends With Us”, the film at the heart of the controversy, was a box office success despite the drama.
And the plot thickens — Baldoni’s lawyer recently subpoenaed Taylor Swift, dragging even more celebrities into this escalating courtroom battle.
With tensions heating up and legal strategies sharpening, this lawsuit is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest legal showdowns. Now the question is — can Baldoni and Wayfarer really prove $400 million in damages?
