It ends with a settlement … Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have finally ended their legal war … TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

Our sources tell us Justin and Blake have agreed to a settlement.<\/p>\n

Both sides released a statement … “The end product – the movie “It Ends With Us” — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind.”<\/p>\n

The statement goes on … “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard. We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments.”<\/p>\n

It ends with this … “It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”<\/p>\n

Interestingly … there is no direct apology from Baldoni. As you know, the judge dismissed most of Lively’s claims, but the retaliation claim survived judicial scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Lively claimed she had lost $161 million as a result of what she said was a smear campaign engineered by Baldoni and Co. It appears no money is changing hands.<\/p>\n

This is a last minute move before the trial was supposed to begin — just 2 weeks from now — and most legal experts say there would have been no winners. Both Justin and Blake would have been raked over the coals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Justin Baldoni V.
