Actress Blake Lively has addressed her fans and followers ahead of her trial with director-costar Justin Baldoni, using a dragon emoji and a statement posted on her Instagram Stories. The statement follows the dismissal of 10 of Lively's 13 claims against Baldoni on Thursday, including those relating to harassment. A further set of allegations, including breach of contract and retaliation claim against Baldon's company Wayfarer Studios, will move forward to the May 18 trial. Lively first filed a sexual-harassment complaint against Baldonian in December 2024 after a behind-the-scenes conflict during It Ends with Us.
