has broken her silence after a judge against .

On Thursday, Judge Lewis Liman threw out 10 out of 13 of Lively's, 39, claims against her It Ends With Us director and co-star, 42, amid a legal battle that began in December 2024.

The ruling has left Lively with just three remaining claims to pursue: breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation. 

'This case has always been and will remain focused on the devastating retaliation and the extraordinary steps the defendants took to destroy Blake Lively's reputation because she stood up for safety on the set and that is the case that is going to trial,' Sigrid McCawley, a member of Lively's legal team, told the Daily Mail in a statement after the ruling.

'For Blake Lively, the greatest measure of justice is that the people and the playbook behind these coordinated digital attacks have been exposed and are already being held accountable by other women they've targeted.'

'She looks forward to testifying at trial and continuing to shine a light on this vicious form of online retaliation so that it becomes easier to detect and fight.'

The statement concluded, 'Sexual harassment isn't going forward not because the defendants did nothing wrong but because the court determined Blake Lively was an independent contractor, not an employee.'

Meanwhile, Baldoni's attorneys, Alexandra Shapiro and Jonathan Bach, told Daily Mail: 'We're very pleased the Court dismissed all sexual harassment claims and every claim brought against the individual defendants: Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, Melissa Nathan, and Jennifer Abel.'

'These were very serious allegations, and we are grateful to the Court for its careful review of the facts, law and voluminous evidence that was provided.'

The trial is still scheduled to proceed May 18 in New York City - but now Lively's case is dramatically thinner; They are seen in a still from the movie
