\u201cWe acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognise concerns raised by Ms Lively deserved to be heard … It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
Baldoni and the studio Wayfarer had previously countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds with claims of extortion and defamation \u2013 but a judge dismissed those claims last year.<\/p>\n
Wayfarer previously insisted that neither the studio, its executives, nor its PR team did anything to retaliate against Lively.<\/p>\n
A judge dismissed some of Lively\u2019s claims, but upheld her allegations of retaliation, which would have proceeded to trial on May 18.<\/p>\n
Based on a best-selling novel by the US writer Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us made more than US$350 million ($596m) at the box office in 2024, making it one of the biggest hits of the year.<\/p>\n
