How Blake Lively Is Reportedly Trying To Get Justin Baldoni’s Defamation Case Dismissed
In court filings submitted in the Southern District of New York on Thursday, Lively requested a judge to throw out Baldoni’s revised lawsuit against her, using California Civil Code section 47.1 as justification. This law, which will be enforced starting in 2023, is intended to shield individuals facing sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination accusations from being sued unless the claimant is acting out of malice, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
