Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' lawyers proclaimed they wanted Bryan Freedman disciplined by the courts for the attorney’s "extrajudicial statements" in the media against the actress for his client Justin Baldoni in the multiple lawsuits battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are hoping the defamation lawsuit from Justin Baldoni ends with dismissal. Variety reports that the couple told a federal judge on January 30 that they will file a dismissal against Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit.

A New York court has also set a March 2026 trial date and intends to consolidate the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her director and co-star, who is suing both Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds.
