Director and actor Justin Baldoni’s USD 400 million extortion and defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds has officially been dismissed. The district court reportedly dismissed the case after Justin failed to meet a court-imposed deadline to amend his claims.

Justin Baldoni`s lawsuit against Blake Lively dismissed

According to a report by Complex, a ruling was signed on October 31, wherein the U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman of the Southern District of New York confirmed that Justin, along with his company, Wayfarer Studios, missed the opportunity to revive the case. This resulted in bringing their legal battle to an end. The court remarked that the plaintiffs “failed to respond” to an order dated October 17, which asked why a final judgment shouldn’t be entered. His absence promoted the case’s formal closure.
