The more than year-long acrimonious battle has transfixed Hollywood and involved celebrities including Lively&#x2019;s husband Ryan Reynolds and longtime friend Taylor Swift.
Thousands of pages of documents made public last month included Lively&#x2019;s claim that Baldoni, 42, unnecessarily pressured her to simulate nudity during a film scene in which her character gave birth in a hospital.
Also released in January were messages between Lively and Swift, including a December 5, 2024, text where the superstar singer likened Lively and Baldoni&#x2019;s relationship to &#x201C;a horror film no one knows is taking place.&#x201D;
Lively is seeking unspecified damages for alleged harassment, invasion of privacy and violations of federal and state civil rights laws. A trial is scheduled for May 18.
The dispute burst into public view in mid-December 2024, when Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department, followed by her lawsuit, and a New York Times article titled: &#x201C;&#x2018;We Can Bury Anyone&#x2019;: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.&#x201D;
Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and Reynolds of trying to destroy his reputation, but U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman dismissed that case last June. The judge also dismissed Baldoni&#x2019;s related $250 million defamation case against the Times.
&#x201C;It Ends With Us&#x201D; generated mixed reviews but grossed more than $351 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
