A Judge Dismisses Parts Of Full of life’s Case
In April 2026, a judge in Recent York dismissed much of Full of life’s case against Baldoni, including accusations of sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends With Us.”
The judge said Baldoni’s behavior “was not thus far beyond what might reasonably be expected to happen between two characters” in a movie about sex and relationships.
“That Baldoni suggested scenes involving sexual acts within the context of developing a movie involving such adult themes didn’t create a ‘sexually objectionable environment’ or an environment hostile to women (or to men) due to sex,” the judge continued.
Full of life is capable of pursue certain retaliation claims, in line with ABC News, with the judge saying Baldon’s PR team “crossed the road” with its reported targeted smear campaign.
“The reputational effects have been particularly severe given the character of Full of life’s occupation, which places a heavy emphasis on personal and skilled marketability,” the judge wrote.
The case between Full of life and Baldoni is scheduled to start on May 18, 2026.
