Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds was dismissed, but the judge allowed Baldoni to amend some claims. Baldoni's lawyer stated the dismissal only impacted defamation claims, not accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation. Lively's lawyers called the lawsuit a sham and plan to seek damages. Baldoni plans to proceed with the amended lawsuit, focusing on the alleged smear campaign and false accusations, and anticipates Lively's deposition.
