Blake Lively Seeks $8M In Legal Fees
Despite the court battle being drawn out and quite dramatic, with bombshell texts and other pieces of evidence being released that made both the Jane The Virgin actor and Blake Brown founder look bad, damaging their reputations, the settlement wasn't as intense as some expected.
Once all was said and done, neither side publicly admitted wrongdoing, and neither side received a large sum of damages payout from the other. The settlement effectively ended the main fight between them; however, they then returned to court to battle over legal fees. According to a filing submitted on Monday, June 29th, Lively is asking a judge to order Baldoni to pay her over $8M in attorneys' fees and litigation costs.
Now, Baldoni has until July 13th to respond to the request, and only then will Judge Lewis J. Liman determine whether Lively is truly owed the $8M she's asking for.
Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, users called out Lively for seemingly not being able to let this lawsuit go, despite settling weeks ago. "Give it a rest, Blake!" one user wrote on Instagram.
"This is so tiring," agreed another.
"Losing your fanbase, Blake!' pointed out another. "Let it go!"
"Ma’am! Please sit down!" agreed the next. Enough is enough!"
"Blake for the love of God STOP embarrassing yourself," wrote another user. "You’re losing fans by the second."
"Blake, we’re done with you," added one person. "Please quietly go away."
"I thought this was over!" a final fan wrote. "Just leave it Blake!"
