A judge on Monday dismissed Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Hollywood power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, a major development in the ongoing civil litigation between former co-stars Lively and Baldoni.

In a major victory for Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, a New York federal judge has sided with the actress in a messy legal battle involving her 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star, whom she accused of alleged sexual harassment and weaponizing social media.

Not only was the suit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds thrown out, so was the one filed against The New York Times.
