The Lively v Wayfarer Lawsuit Settled out of Court
On Monday, May 4, 2026 — just two weeks prior to the scheduled starting date for the Lively v Wayfarer, et al trial, a joint press statement was issued indicating the parties agreed to settle the remnants of the Lively v Wayfarer, et al case. A notice & stipulation of settlement hit the court’s docket on Thursday, May 7th. And the judge signed off on it later the same day. This settlement stipulation states the Lively v Wayfarer, et al case is dismissed with prejudice. So, this case is now over, and the claims made in this suit cannot be brought again. Additionally, all the stipulating parties (Blake Lively, Wayfarer Studios LLC, It Ends With Us Movie LLC, Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, The Agency Group PR LLC, Melissa Nathan, and Jennifer Abel) “irrevocably waive any…

Presenting Court Filings on the Lively/Baldoni Legal Drama
The holidays are over and the Lively/Baldoni legal drama is back in full swing. A whole bunch of letters hit the court’s docket this week. They were calling on the court to keep certain documents (&/or portions of them) sealed (or redacted) that were previously filed. These documents largely pertained to the Wayfarer Parties’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Blake Lively‘s Opposition to that motion. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the docket going forward (in lieu of watching crime drama TV) and sharing what gets filed on my Celebrity Justice Substack. Because now that all the evidence is in, and much of what has been hidden from the…

Plaintiffs Appeal Blake Lively Lawsuits
Two plaintiffs appeal their judge’s decisions in their respective Blake Lively lawsuits tied to the Lively v Baldoni legal battle. (I introduced the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni legal drama here a few months ago.) FLORIDA: Popcorned Planet, Inc v Blake Lively In the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, TAMPA DIVISION, Popcorned Planet, Inc. filed a notice of appeal on December 11, 2025, after the court denied its motion to quash.

It is also…
