The judge also reportedly dropped Baldoni's $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times. Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to drop the $400 million lawsuit, which alleged defamation and extortion by Lively and her husband.
The judge said that Baldoni's team could amend part of the claims if they wanted, but they had to do so by June 23.
Blake Lively withdraws emotional distress claims against Justin BaldoniLiman said that Baldoni's team had not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements outside of her CRD complaint, which he said is privileged. The decision said, in part:
"The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and (publicist Leslie) Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law."
