In his motion, Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, the couple's publicist, Leslie Sloane, as well as Baldoni's defamation claim against The New York Times.

After Blake Lively publicly responded to the dismissal on social media, Justin Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, said the actress' “predictable declaration of victory is false."
