Judge Dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times
Plus: Simone Biles Attacks Riley Gaines

The couple spoke with the New York Times to get their defamation more play.

A federal judge has thrown out actor Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against actress Blake Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, marking a decisive legal victory for the Hollywood couple. Baldoni had accused Lively of making false sexual harassment claims as part of an alleged reputational power play. However, the court found no actionable evidence to support the claims, dismissing the entire suit and paving the way for potential countersanctions against Baldoni and his affiliates.
Key Details:
Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Lively's statements in her civil rights complaint were legally privileged and non-actionable.
The court also dismissed claims against Reynolds, Lively's publicist Leslie Sloane, and the New York Times.
Lively's legal team is now seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages against Baldoni and his Wayfarer company.
Diving Deeper:
The legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni stemmed from explosive allegations and counterclaims tied to their work on the film It Ends With Us. In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department accusing Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath of sexual harassment and related misconduct. Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation lawsuit, alleging Lively fabricated the claims to salvage her image following turmoil on the film's press tour.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman delivered a firm rebuke of Baldoni's claims. In a written opinion, Liman found that Lively's statements, confined to her CRD complaint, were privileged under the law and thus not grounds for defamation. Liman also dismissed related accusations that Reynolds, Sloane, or The New York Times knowingly spread false information about Baldoni, citing a lack of evidence that they acted with "actual malice."

I get the idea that allegations in a lawsuit are privileged and cannot be the basis of a defamation claim, but how does that insulate them from repeating the defamations to a New York Times reporter, or getting their publicist to spread the allegations around?

Liberal judges love finding ways to dismiss defamation lawsuits against liberals and liberal propaganda organizations.

...
Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, celebrated the ruling, calling it a "total victory and a complete vindication" for their client and those "dragged into [Baldoni's] retaliatory lawsuit." They further indicated intentions to pursue legal costs and damages from Baldoni and others associated with Wayfarer for what they termed "abusive litigation."
The fallout from this legal drama may not be over yet. Judge Liman gave Baldoni's team until June 23 to amend and refile only limited claims regarding tortious interference and breach of implied contract. The broader defamation effort, however, is effectively dead in the water.

In related news of lefties defaming people, overrated tumbling fireplug and Noted Quitter Simone Biles attacked Riley Gaines out of the blue for trying to keep men out of women's sports.

Gaines commented on this newest example of Stolen Women's Valor: a boy is now playing on a girl's softball team and you'll never guess. It turns out the boy is much, much better at softball than girls, and he "dragged" his team to the championship based mostly on his ability to absolutely dominate the female batters he was facing.

Trans Pitcher Marissa Rothenberger Drags Champlin Park to MN Girls Softball State Title

The date was June 6, 2025, when for the first time in recorded history, a transgender biological male (XY) won a state championship in Minnesota Girls (XX) high school softball.
Marissa Rothenberger -- born Charlie Dean Rothenberger until he began transitioning to a she at just 9 years old -- is now 6'0″ tall junior and the No. 1 pitcher for Champlin Park high school girls softball, which on Friday morning defeated Bloomington-Jefferson 6-0 in the 4A Minnesota State Championship.
Rothenberger is the ace of the team's pitching staff and probably the best high school softball pitcher in the state of Minnesota. On Friday, the towering 17-year-old with long blonde hair pitched a complete-game shutout and held Bloomington Jefferson to just 3 hits, bringing Marissa's 2025 pitching statistics to a rest at 94 IP, 0.74 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and .176 BAA.

It's very easy to win a girl's softball championship when your starting pitcher is Thor, God of Thunder.

Last night, a man single-handedly carried his high school in Minnesota to a Class 4A Softball Championship.

He pitched 14 shutout innings in back-to-back games to defeat the defending state champs.

14. Shutout. Innings.

🚨Another state championship hijacked by a team with a boy.

"Marissa" Rothenberger pitched 7 shutout innings to lead Champlin Park to a 6-0 win in the Minnesota Girls’ State Softball Championship.

You're a shameful coward, @GovTimWalz.

Biles exploded at Riley Gaines for telling the truth.

Biles even insinuated that Riley Gaines might be a little transgender herself:

Olympic legend Simone Biles is under fire for attacking former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and defending the participation of biological males in female sports competitions.
Key Details:
Biles called Gaines "truly sick" and a "sore loser" in response to her criticism of a transgender athlete leading a Minnesota high school softball team.
Biles suggested sports could introduce a transgender category but accused Gaines of bullying.
The backlash was swift, with critics calling Biles' comments hypocritical and out of touch with concerns about fairness in women's sports.
Diving Deeper:
Simone Biles is now at the center of a growing firestorm over her recent defense of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. The gymnastics icon took aim at Riley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer turned outspoken advocate for protecting women's sports, igniting a wave of backlash across social media.
The controversy began when Gaines criticized the Minnesota State High School League for celebrating Champlin Park High School's softball championship -- a title secured in large part by a biologically male player, junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger. The league posted a team photo with comments disabled, prompting Gaines to speak out on X.
Biles jumped into the fray by attacking Gaines directly. "You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser," Biles wrote, referencing Gaines' 2022 competition against UPenn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. In a follow-up post, Biles said Gaines should be "uplifting the trans community" and proposed creating a "transgender category in all sports."
But Biles' attempt to frame her remarks as inclusive quickly backfired.
"You bully them... One thing's for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!" she added, escalating the personal nature of her criticism.
...
Others accused Biles of ignoring the central issue: biological differences between men and women, especially in competitive athletics. "Simone Biles benefited from fair competition her whole career," one commenter wrote. "Now she's endorsing policies that erase that fairness for the next generation of girls."

NEW: Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has a meltdown after Riley Gaines criticized Minnesota for allowing a boy to take a high school girls softball team to the State Title.

Biles accused Gaines of looking like a man as she argued in favor of men playing in women’s sports.

Note that Biles attacked Riley for being a buff female athlete, telling her to "pick on someone her own size" which, she then added, would be a "man." She's basically claiming that Riley Gaines looks like a tranny.

This from a woman who looks like Herschel Walker in one-piece bathing suit.

This stubby, jacked Mannish Racist is now saying she didn't mean to be a bully and attack people for no reason.

Based Jane D'oh speculated that Biles might have heard from her sponsors.

I don't know if any woke corporations are ready to dump their sponsorship over trans activism yet.

But it's no longer 2018 with a fully-empowered left-wing cancellation and deplatforming machine ready to destroy anyone who disputes the insane claims of the left. Apparently Biles still thinks she can get away with screaming outrageous stupidity that puts girls' safety in danger and get nothing but "Slay Kween" in return.

They will lie about anything.

I didn't really bother mentioning it. The basic story is that Blake Lively attempted a power-play to take away a movie from the guy who produced it and starred in it, and she was angry that he hadn't given in, so she invented a "sexual harassment" claim against him and then seeded that story in the press.

The guy, Justin Baldonni, sued her and her bitchass husband for defamation.

26 I'm convinced Biles was stoned when she posted that brain anal leakage all over the place. Not that it excuses any of it. I've grown quite weary of dumb people who wrap themselves in smug self righteousness when they defend indefensible things like dudes dominating girls' sports or foreign parasites rioting and destroying property.

Posted by: UGAdawg at June 10, 2025 03:32 PM (faLVK)

27 Biles has complained in the past about all of the body shaming she's experienced for being heavily muscled (for a 4'8" woman). Riley Gains is 5'5" with an athletic, but feminine build. Nobody but an activist looks at Gains and thinks she looks masculine.

Biles is a moron.

28 "Note that Biles attacked Riley for being a buff female athlete, telling her to 'pick on someone her own size' which, she then added, would be a man.' She's basically claiming that Riley Gaines looks like a tranny."

I'm not sure Biles' outburst and attack were some well-thought plan. Biles is highly erratic and mentally ill, and I think admittedly so. If nothing else, she was abused by Larry Nasser and all the ogres at USA gymnastics.

As to the "your own size" comment, I think Biles is an idiot and was confusing Gaines with the much-taller Lia Thomas in that famous pic.

Besides, I support men playing women's sports. I think it's hilarious from a spectator perspective, as well as an ironic hypocritical position. This is what happens when two of the DNC's cliche groups end up being diametrical opposed to each other while still trying to support leftist politics. It's freakin fun to watch.

72 I think another one of the greatest legal wrong turns this country has made is allowing civil and employment claims against "sexual harassment." It is either a crime (physical assault, etc.) or it is your problem for staying at the job.

I think it was driven by the tort industrial complex. If your boss is an ass -- quit. Tell the world what they said, or how they act. The courts can not solve everything (in fact, they seem to be really bad at solving anything.)

74 Stephen A Smith of course said Gaines went over the line when one of her replies to the attack on her referred to Nassar. Smith thinks mentioning him even if it makes a clear point was over the line.

My opinion is it was no where over the line because it is relevant to the debate and Smith was just looking for an excuse to defend Biles. Who did make it personal. If Gaines wanted to make it personal she could have brought up Biles mental illnesses and quitting on her teammates.

Gaines isn't that type of person.

112 Biles attack on Gaines has garnered so much backlash that is why the "apology" came out and I don't believe that she means a word of it. I take Biles original tweet at its word as to what she really feels about the issue and about Gaines. Like Rapinoe, she is not going to compete again, doesn't ever have to worry about some swinging dick coming in to her field of competition, and wants her woke bona fides.

Gaines totally owned her on this for everyone to see.

232 lric- Appears to be the abusive mom.

That’s according to a recent report from Reduxx, which cites court documents showing Heather Rothenberger petitioned the Hennepin County District Court in 2017 to amend her child’s birth certificate.

The petition was granted, changing the child’s name from “Charlie Dean” to “Marissa” and the sex designation to female, Reduxx reports.

It says “parents” in the article, but just the mom’s name is listed for the court records. Is that normal?

The rule makes legal and logistical sense.

Until you run in to a situation where it doesn't. But, you know, bad facts bad rules all of that.

Generally speaking though, it would cause a nightmare for estate law and family law if there was an opening for the birth family to jump in and claim guardianship or whatever whenever they wanted.

Also, wth, yes, apparently many tried to skedaddle during the raid. One hid inside a wall. One pulled a box-cutter on an agent - oops, hope you like some guvamint beds and rations before you see Honduras again.

Another worksite raid in GA. They're spreading it around.

Still pushing for them to a come-to-Mohammed moment with major known W-2 violators. Give them an ultimatum, a glide path, and help to comply. Cheaper, faster, more effective than just raids + fear of raids (though those help too obviously).

308 299 TJM and wth - Melugin posted that NE business owner claims he used e-Verify and other checks, but illegals used stolen identities etc. This is an issue (and of course adds a criminal charge to the illegal status). Also, wth, yes, apparently many tried to skedaddle during the raid. One hid inside a wall. One pulled a box-cutter on an agent - oops, hope you like some guvamint beds and rations before you see Honduras again.

Another worksite raid in GA. They're spreading it around.

Still pushing for them to a come-to-Mohammed moment with major known W-2 violators. Give them an ultimatum, a glide path, and help to comply. Cheaper, faster, more effective than just raids + fear of raids (though those help too obviously).

Some leftist was saying that Trump was targeting only Blue states in raids.

Yep. Set up operations to have UCs apply for jobs without docs, bust them for employing the UC, then rip the company's files open for further prosecution. All of this should have been done under Bushy II, but no...

His thing was not about being funny it was about how absurd and surreal could he make a situation and still keep the audience with him.

There was a scam where companies were making money off building apartments then selling them to people to fill. Which, they couldn't because there are like 5 rooms for every buyer or renter.

316 polynikes, yes, and then some. The story of how the WH blessing Nat Guard support for Jan. 6, which then got stymied by a few at DOD (including, according to the regular guys involved, unprecedented intervention by higher-ups), is one of the many jaw-dropping, what-effing-Third World-s*hole-am-I-living-in stories from that era.

326 His job was "to get paid" and he got paid. Ultimately that was his job.

I mean I guess that's true of everyone on every job if you over reduce it to its simplest possible concept. Every plumber, actor, writer, politician, accountant, hit man, and extortionist is in the job to get paid. But that doesn't make it their job. He was a comedian, that was what he was billed at and claimed to be. Other comedians love him. Almost nobody actually found him to be funny, though.

I think the comparison to Norm Macdonald is great: he was all that Kaufman was without the aggressively abrasive personality and the lack of comedy. He did surreal stuff that made people laugh.

>>Which is what Norm MacDonald did. But he made it funny.

At his core, Norm MacDonald wanted to be funny, just not jokey, yuck, yuck funny, his comedy was weaving the story, aside or observation to the edge of absurdity and then snatching it back into the payoff.

330 weft, that's Advanced LE Shenanigans, works well in many situations, might here. I think for now, given resource constraints, it's beyond their current plans.

My proposal will have a much much higher yield. Plus, a much bigger ripple/demo effect. Naturally the "social telegraph" in illegal labor circles is very efficient. When the cousin at Smithfield tells the family that La Migra is systematically cleansing that and other large meat processors of illegals, the wider effect will be enormous.

simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that
they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail
upon the top and also defined out the whole thing
without having side effect , people can take a signal.

Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
