Justin Baldoni triumphs as court dismisses Livelys claims.

has secured a major win over  as a judge has dismissed all of the actress' sexual harassment claims against him ahead of their trial.

The It Ends With us co-stars have been locked in legal drama since December 2024 - but Judge Lewis Liman's decision today means the actress, 39, has only three claims left to argue.

The trial is still scheduled to proceed May 18 in - but now Lively's case is dramatically thinner. 

In his ruling on Thursday, Judge Lewis Liman said that the agreements that Lively signed to take part in the movie were ‘unenforceable’.

That meant the basis of much of Lively’s claims, including her sexual harassment allegations, which she alleged were a breach of those agreements, could not proceed.

The agreements were known as the Actor Loanout Agreement, or ALA, and the Contract Rider Agreement, or CRA.

In his 152-page ruling, the judge wrote: ‘It is clear that the ALA is not and has never been a validly formed and binding contract, as IEWUM (It Ends With Us Movie) unambiguously expressed an intent not to be bound absent a fully executed and signed agreement’.
