The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over alleged sexual harassment on the set of 'It Ends With Us' is intensifying as settlement talks have collapsed, setting the stage for a trial later this year. According to Geo Entertainment, the former co-stars attempted mediation but were unable to reach an agreement, with Baldoni's lawyer confirming that the case is 'on track for a trial later this year.' The lawsuit, which began with Lively's complaint in December 2024, accuses Baldoni of harassment and defamation, among other charges. ABC7 reports that Lively is seeking nearly $500 million in damages, while Baldoni's countersuit for $400 million was dismissed last June.
