Blake Lively is requesting that Justin Baldoni pay her legal fees in the ongoing legal dispute between the two actors, according to court documents filed this week.
Request for Fee Recovery
The request follows a recent court ruling that partially sided with Lively in the case. Her legal team argues that the ruling entitles her to recover costs associated with defending against certain claims made by Baldoni.
The filing does not specify the exact amount of legal fees being sought, but it asks the judge to determine the appropriate sum.
Background of the Dispute
The legal battle stems from Lively's complaint against Baldoni, filed last year, alleging misconduct on the set of their film "It Ends with Us." Baldoni has denied the allegations and countersued.
Earlier this month, the judge dismissed some of Baldoni's counterclaims but allowed others to proceed. Lively's team contends that the dismissed claims were without merit, justifying the fee request.
Next Steps in Court
A hearing on the fee request has not yet been scheduled. The case continues to move through the courts, with both parties maintaining their respective positions.
