BLAKE LIVELY WANTS $8 MILLION FROM JUSTIN BALDONI — FOR HER LEGAL FEES
After settling their It Ends With Us battle, the actress is asking the director to foot her legal bills. Here's what's happening.
Blake Lively isn't done with Justin Baldoni just yet! More than a month after the two settled their yearslong legal war over the domestic-abuse drama It Ends With Us, Lively's legal team filed a motion asking Baldoni to cough up $8 million to cover her attorney costs, according to The Hollywood Reporter and E! Online. Talk about adding insult to injury!
The request reportedly marks Lively's last shot at any cash compensation in the case — so her lawyers are going all-in to make it stick. While the exact details of their settlement remain under wraps, this move suggests the actress wants Baldoni to shoulder at least some of the financial burden of their courtroom clash.
It's a power play as the whole saga winds down. Whether Baldoni agrees to fork over the dough? That's the million-dollar question — or in this case, the eight-million-dollar one!
