Blake Lively Seeks Extension in Legal Fees Dispute with Justin Baldoni

Analysed 18 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Nashville, Tennessee, United States·Entertainment
Blake Lively Seeks Extension in Legal Fees Dispute with Justin BaldoniPreviousNext

Blake Lively has requested at least a seven-day extension to file her initial brief on legal fees owed by Justin Baldoni, citing a busy schedule and the need to review billing records. This request relates to ongoing court proceedings following the dismissal of Baldoni's $400 million defamation countersuit. While the court ruled Baldoni must cover part of Lively's legal fees, the exact amount and payment details remain under review, with no decision yet on the extension.
