Blake Lively Details โค$127.4 Million in Losses, โCites Justin Baldoni Conduct; Taylor Swift Listed as Potential Witness
LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2024 – blake lively has disclosed over $127.4 million in alleged financial losses stemming from what she claims โคwas misconduct and subsequent online attacks โขby actor Justin Baldoni following the production of the domestic violence film I.E.W.U.,according to a recently unsealed court document. โThe filing, made public November 5, also reveals Taylor Swift as a potential trial witness.
The detailed accounting,โ presented in a โฃSeptember disclosure document, breaks down Lively’s claimed damages into lost earnings, lost profits, and non-economicโ damages. Specifically, Lively alleges lost earnings of “not less than $56,200,000” and lost profits of “approximately $71,000,000,” both figuresโ subject to expert testimony. These losses encompass past and future โคon-screen work, endorsements, speaking engagements, and revenue from her blake Brown Beauty products and Bettyโข B Holdings beverage company.
Beyond financial setbacks, Livelyโฃ is seeking between $250,000 and $400,000 for “pain โคand suffering, physical pain, and humiliation,” and approximately $34,000,000 forโ “reputational harm,” againโ subject to expert evaluation.Theโค document notes these figures representโค minimumโ estimates,and further damages related to California Civil Code 47.1 and anti-SLAPP laws mayโ be pursued.
The disclosures significantlyโค overshadowโ Baldoni’sโ previously dismissed $400 million countersuit against โฃLively. The caseโ centers around allegationsโ of defamation and interference with economic advantage.
Notably, the filing lists Taylorโฃ Swift as a potential witness. Representatives for Livelyโ and baldoni haveโข not yet responded to requests for comment. Steve Sarowitz, co-founder of Wayfarer and co-defendant in the case, might potentially be โขimpacted by the financial claims,โ especially as Baldoni pursues separate lawsuits against insurance companiesโข toโ cover potential liabilities.
