The Rest Is...Lawsuit Dismissed! What Next In The Lively vs. Baldoni Saga?

🎙️ $400M Lawsuit Thrown Out: Blake Lively’s Legal Win or PR Headache?

This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the latest twist in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga — and it’s not as clear-cut as the headlines suggest.

🧾 Judge Lewis J. Liman has officially dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane, and PR firm Vision. But contrary to what’s being reported… this wasn’t about truth or lies.

📌 The judge ruled the claims in Lively’s complaint were legally privileged — meaning the court couldn’t consider them as part of the lawsuit.

👉 That doesn’t mean her claims were proven true.

👉 It also doesn’t mean Baldoni was cleared.

👉 It simply means: The case couldn’t proceed.

Jacki and Lyle dive into:

• What this dismissal actually means for all parties involved
• Why this could still be a PR nightmare for Blake Lively
• The blurred lines between legal wins and public perception
• The importance of reporting facts without spin
• And whether there’s more to this story that’s yet to come...

🎧 Listen now for a smart, no-nonsense breakdown of one of the biggest celebrity legal battles of the year — and what it tells us about power, PR, and public opinion in 2025.
