Blake Lively claims she's lost $161 million due to Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign. The Gossip Girl actress filed a lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director in December 2024, claiming that he orchestrated a smear campaign against her in retaliation for her raising sexual harassment complaints on set. At the time, Lively's lawyers estimated that her damages exceeded $75,000. However, in a disclosure provided to the defence in July, and made public this week, they argued that she suffered at least $161 million in actual damages. Her legal team will seek at least three times that figure in punitive damages. According to Variety, the star's lawyers claimed she lost at least $56.2 million in past and future earnings from acting, producing, speaking engagements and endorsements and suffered at least $34 million (£26 million) in reputational harm over the alleged smear campaign. In addition, her beauty brand, Blake Brown, has allegedly lost $49 million, and her drinks company, Betty Buzz/Betty Booze, has lost $22 million. Baldoni, who denies the allegations, previously claimed that he suffered $400 million in damages due to Lively's claims and he filed a defamation and extortion lawsuit against the actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds, among others. That complaint was recently dismissed. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
