American actor Justin Baldoni must pay actress Blake Lively’s legal costs, a court in New York has ruled.
It is unclear how much money is involved.
The decision means a partial victory for Blake Lively who has accused Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and breach of contract in connection with the filming of the film “It ends with us”, which he also directed.
Baldoni, in turn, sued Lively and her husband, the actor Ryan Reynoldsfor defamation and extortion, leading to a lengthy legal battle.
Unclear amount
In May of this year, Lively and Baldoni reached a settlement, but Lively subsequently demanded that Baldoni pay her legal costs. And now a court in New York has decided that this will happen. It is unclear how much money is involved.
However, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman claims that it is a “limited amount of compensation for legal fees related to a single charge in a case that lasted only a few months.”
At the same time, Lively’s lawyers state that the star is satisfied with the court’s decision.
