Blake Lively settled her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni two weeks before trial in May 2026 — then walked the Met Gala carpet that same night. In this episode of Star Witness, Becca Hartwell and Miles trace the full arc of the Lively-Baldoni dispute: from the tonal chaos of the August 2024 It Ends With Us press tour to the December 2024 New York Times smear campaign exposé, the $400 million countersuit, and the April 2026 dismissal of ten of thirteen claims including every sexual harassment count. They examine the unsealed communications revealing a $30,000-per-month covert social media operation, the real commercial damage to Lively's Betty Buzz brand, and what the pending California Civil Code Section 47.1 motion for treble damages actually means for the financial outcome. Both sides declared victory — but Becca and Miles do not agree on which side actually has the stronger case.
