Blake Vigorous And Justin Baldoni Fail To Reach Settlement

Blake Vigorous and Justin Baldoni will proceed their ferocious legal battle, because the two have been unable to achieve a settlement during their recent court appearance.

The continued saga between the 2 “It Ends With Us” stars will officially head to trial in May, as each side are standing firm of their recollections of what happened during production of the 2024 film.

In line with Deadline, the sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit at the middle of the bitter legal saga between former co-stars Blake Vigorous and Justin Baldoni will head to trial after settlement discussions failed.

Per Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, attempts to achieve a settlement throughout the February 11 court appearance were “unsuccessful.” Despite the settlement not being an option, Freedman said that he and Baldoni are “looking forward to” the May 18 trial.

Freedman also shared that while a settlement before the trial begins is all the time a possibility, he doesn’t “know that we’ll.”

Vigorous and Baldoni arrived on the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse in Manhattan earlier on Wednesday following a scandalous batch of text messages and emails from Vigorous that were revealed as a part of a deposition.

The February 11 court appearance was the primary time the embattled former co-stars had been in court since Vigorous filed the $550 million lawsuit, wherein she claims that she faced repeated harassment from Baldoni throughout the production of “It Ends With Us,” and that he launched a smear campaign against her.

Among the biggest names in Hollywood were included within the 181 pages of unsealed documents as a part of Vigorous and Baldoni’s deposition.

Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, and Matt Damon were all included within the documents, probably the most shocking of which featured Swift and Vigorous discussing Baldoni in very harsh terms.

Per Us Weekly, an insider near Affleck and Damon told the outlet that the famous Hollywood besties have thoughts concerning the messy legal battle and “the sensation is frustration.”

The source continued, adding, “There is a sense of, ‘Why am I being dragged into this?’ It’s created unnecessary stress and irritation, and folks feel prefer it’s turn into a black hole.”

“Even those that don’t have anything to do with it are anxious about getting mentioned or dragged into public speculation,” the source said.

“People in Hollywood have been distancing themselves from Blake and Ryan,” an extra source said. “Even close friends of theirs have been keeping their heads down and staying neutral.”

In a recent YouGov poll, per NewsNation, the singer’s popularity rating stood at 46.7% as of January 5, which is a 9% drop from 55.4%  a yr ago.

Moreover, the proportion of those that view Swift unfavorably rose from 23.5% to 29.2% over the identical period. That is the best level of disapproval for Swift since October 2020.

“They usually are not invited. Period,” one insider said of Vigorous and Reynolds, in line with the #ShutterScoop. “Taylor wants a drama-free day, and he or she not trusts Blake or Ryan.”

“There is no ‘will she or won’t she,'” one other insider said, adding, “She won’t.”

“As stated all along, and reflected in our clients’ motions, in addition to in messages from Sony discussing Ms. Vigorous’s behaviors, the evidence doesn’t support [Lively’s] claims as a matter of law,” Freedman said on January 21.

“An easy read of the newly released message exchanges make the reality abundantly clear. We remain confident within the legal process and clearing the names of all of the Justin Baldoni parties,” he said.
