Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds to ask court to drop Justin Baldoni's suit
Published: 31 January 2025
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on Thursday expressed their intention to ask a federal court to drop a lawsuit filed earlier this month by her It Ends with Us director Justin Baldoni.
'The Lively-Reynolds Parties intend to move to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint,' an attorney for the Hollywood power couple, Michael Gottlieb, told Judge Lewis Liman in a letter, Variety reported Thursday after reviewing legal documents in the case.
Judge Liman had previously requested the lawyers to send a written notice to 'indicate in one sentence the Defendant's intent to make a motion to dismiss.'
The judge is expected to schedule a deadline date for them to submit the paperwork in the request, the outlet reported.
Lively and Reynolds' publicist Leslie Sloane, who Baldoni also named in his lawsuit as a defendant, on Wednesday submit a similar statement to the court.
Dailymail.com has reached out to reps and attorneys for Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, and Baldoni, 41, for further comment on this story.
