The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has reached its conclusion, a year and a half after the New York Times published an article alleging Justin harassed the actress on set of It Ends With Us<\/em>, then orchestrated a smear campaign against her.<\/p>\n Because both parties chose a settlement, they won’t have to go to trial and the legal battle is officially over.<\/p>\n Page Six reports that neither actor actually earned any money in the settlement, but their legal team made a collective $60 million from suing each other, and according to TMZ, Blake brought in a brand new law firm (Sussman Godfrey), but the final settlement “did not even include an apology from Justin.”<\/p>\n The case was full of details and messages from Baldoni and Lively’s time working together, including Justin publishing his emails and texts with the Gossip Girl<\/em> actress, who also requested additional protection after the legal battle went viral on social media and she began receiving threatening messages.<\/p>\n Overall, I’m really disappointed that the legal battle has overshadowed the whole film. The story, which revolves around domestic violence, was a great opportunity to raise awareness for the issue, but the general public has totally moved away from that perspective and switched to only talking about the behind-the-scenes drama.<\/p>\n Plus, I actually really enjoyed the movie! I thought the script was strong, and that Blake gave one of her best performances. Not to mention the fact that, in context, her costumes<\/a> were actually pretty cute.<\/p>\n If you’re in need of help, you can reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline<\/a> at 800.799.SAFE (7233).
