Judge dismisses most of Blake Lively claims in harassment suit against Baldoni - BBC

A judge dismissed most of Blake Lively’s claims but left three allegations in place, prompting a trial that was later overtaken by a settlement between the parties. The settlement appears to resolve the pending claims and related defamation actions, yet Lively has filed a motion seeking attorney fees for defending against Baldoni’s defamation suit and frames the request as motivated by broader principles. That fee fight remains a follow-up to the court rulings and settlement.
