After years of legal wrangling, Blake Lively has settled a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us.
The two sides issued on Monday a joint statement announcing the deal. Terms weren’t disclosed.
“The end product – the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ – is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,” they said. “Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind.”
The statement added, “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard. We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”
The agreement comes with jury selection scheduled to start on May 18.
More to come.
