Reminder, Blake Lively is suing Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and waging a smear campaign against her.

She's also suing Jamie Heath and Wayfarer Studios.

But most of our questions today are focusing on the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively of it all.

So they start together in the film.

It ends with us.

A lot of you already know all of this.

But Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024.

Baldoni strongly denies the claims and is defending the lawsuit, which named him and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, which was behind the film as the perpetrators of sexual harassment, hostile work conditions, a smear campaign.

If you want any more background, we've done multiple episodes on this, but I'm going to jump straight into the questions.

This one is from Lucy in Virginia.

Lucy says, I know Baldoni's lawsuit was dismissed.

Okay, so Baldoni did file a lawsuit for $400 million saying that basically Blake was defaming him.

She says, I know it was dismissed because he said Blake was defaming him by filing complaints in her lawsuit.

But if he wins the civil case and the jury says we don't believe that Blake was sexually harassed, can he refile that lawsuit with the backup that one jury already found him to be telling the truth?

Sean, take it away.

So he could refile, you say using a separate legal theory, but could that legal theory be, I'm not saying she defamed me by filing her original lawsuit because that's protected, but I am saying that this jury found her to be not telling the truth.

I've been saying she was not telling the truth since the beginning.

And her whole claim from...

No, because that would be back to her filing her lawsuit.

I just think she lied on my name publicly.
