NEW YORK – Actress Blake Lively has been awarded $400,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs stemming from a legal dispute with actor Justin Baldoni related to their film “It Ends with Us.” The award was granted in New York following a legal disagreement between the two parties.
Lively had originally requested approximately $8 million in legal expenses. However, a judge presiding over the case ruled that Lively’s initial request was “outrageously unreasonable.” The court ultimately determined that $400,000 was an appropriate amount for attorneys’ fees and costs to be paid by Baldoni to Lively.
The specifics of the legal dispute concerning the film “It Ends with Us” were not detailed in the provided information. It is also not specified what led to the disagreement or the nature of the claims made by either party that necessitated legal action. The contractor’s name was not provided.
