In a major victory for Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, a New York federal judge has sided with the actress in a messy legal battle involving her 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star, whom she accused of alleged sexual harassment and weaponizing social media.

Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that "the information [Baldoni's legal team] sought is no longer relevant to a claim or defense in this action"

A New York judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400M lawsuit against actress Blake Lively. Federal Judge Lewis Liman of New York's southern district accepted the motion to dismiss the multi-million-dollar counter lawsuit filed by Baldoni that alleged defamation and extortion.
