No monetary compensation was reportedly exchanged in the lawsuit settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. This comes after Lively filed a motion for attorneys' fees and damages from Baldoni's dismissed defamation suit against her. The settlement avoids a trial that was set to begin on May 18 and was expected to last six to eight weeks. The legal dispute stemmed from Lively's claims that Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, fostered a toxic, sexually charged work environment on the set of It Ends With Us. Baldoni had countersued Lively for $400 million, but the suit was later dismissed.
