This legal mess just keeps getting weirder. Yesterday, Judge Lewis Lyman threw out seven of the nine claims Justin Baldoni had against Blake Lively, her publicist, her husband, and the New York Times. While the court allowed Baldoni to file a second amended complaint, tweaking only the allegations related to torturous interference with contract and breach of implied covenant, Baldoni's attorney, Brian Friedman, released a statement claiming the court had invited them to amend four of the seven claims against Lively. That just doesn't match up with the judge's ruling. It's confusing, honestly. The public is left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what's really going on.
Let's break it down. According to the judge's ruling, only three claims against Lively seem likely to proceed: intentional interference with contractual relations, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. So, while Friedman's statement might suggest otherwise, the reality is that the path forward is narrower than he initially claimed. It's a bit of a mess, but the case isn't over.
And speaking of Lively, she was spotted at a Chanel fashion event the other day. She looked stunning, completely unfazed by everything swirling around her. It's moments like these that remind you that life goes on, even in the middle of a storm. As the case continues to unfold, one thing is certain: we're not done seeing this through. This drama isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
