Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Settle 'It Ends With Us' Lawsuit
Actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have reached a settlement in their legal dispute over the film 'It Ends With Us,' avoiding a trial that was set to begin in May.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have reached a settlement in their legal dispute related to the film "It Ends With Us," their lawyers announced Monday. The agreement resolves the case just days before a scheduled trial that was set to begin later in May.
The lawsuit stemmed from allegations by Lively that Baldoni had waged a smear campaign against her after she complained of harassment during the production of the film, in which they co-starred together. Baldoni had denied the accusations against him.
Both actors appeared in court for a pretrial conference on April 28 as they prepared for the upcoming trial, where both were expected to testify. The settlement was finalized on May 4, according to court records.
The legal dispute had drawn significant attention given the high-profile nature of both actors and the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel. The resolution means the details of the case and the specific claims will not be aired in a public trial setting.
Terms of the settlement agreement were not disclosed. The case had been closely watched in the entertainment industry as it involved allegations of workplace conduct and retaliation between co-stars of a major film production.
