What Has Baldoni Said About The Legal Battle?<\/h2>\n

Baldoni\u2019s effort to deny Lively attorney fees comes days after he spoke publicly<\/u> about the legal battle for the first time. He posted a video with his wife last week, in which Baldoni thanked fans for their support and said he was still \u201chealing\u201d from the \u201ctraumatic\u201d legal fight. His wife, Emily Baldoni, said she and her husband were victims of \u201cinjustice,\u201d saying they have had to \u201cwrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things, like how could something like this even happen? Let alone disguised as a fight for women.\u201d Baldoni said he remained quiet on the court fight because he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to add to the noise,\u201d saying he would let the legal process sort itself out. <\/p>\n

Why Did Lively Request $8 Million In Attorney\u2019s Fees?<\/h2>\n

Last month, a federal judge granted<\/u> Lively\u2019s request to seek attorney\u2019s fees after she and Baldoni settled their years-long legal battle. Lively\u2019s lawyers had sought fees under a California law that was passed to protect survivors of sexual abuse to seek compensation following retaliatory defamation lawsuits. The judge granted Lively\u2019s effort to seek attorney\u2019s fees, but denied her request for punitive damages, saying the request fell outside the \u201ccarefully crafted federal procedural rules designed to protect the rights of the parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

Baldoni and Lively co-starred in the 2024 film \u201cIt Ends With Us,\u201d which Baldoni directed, though the film\u2019s success was largely overshadowed by the lengthy legal battle<\/u> that ensued months after its premiere. In December 2024, Lively filed a civil rights complaint in California accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, and the New York Times published an article that detailed an alleged smear campaign Baldoni\u2019s team wielded against her. Lively filed a lawsuit in federal court shortly after, making many of the same claims. Baldoni filed his own lawsuits, including one against the Times, which was later dismissed, and another against Lively for defamation. Baldoni\u2019s suit was dismissed last year, while Lively\u2019s suit was set to head to trial in May of this year until a judge tossed<\/u> many of her claims. Baldoni and Lively announced they had reached a settlement weeks later. Both Baldoni and Lively had framed the settlement as a victory for themselves: Lively\u2019s lawyers Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson told Forbes<\/u> in May the settlement was a \u201cresounding victory for Blake Lively\u201d in her effort to hold Baldoni accountable for \u201cabusing the legal system to silence and intimidate\u201d her. Baldoni\u2019s lawyer Bryan Freedman said he could not disclose terms of the settlement, but noted Baldoni was \u201cecstatic.\u201d <\/p>\n
