00:01Blake Lively may think her legal drama is over after a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit,
00:07but Baldoni's lawyer says not so fast.
00:10Blake Lively was taking a victory lap last night at an industry event in New York City.
00:14Meanwhile, Justin Baldoni's attorney came out and said this is not over by a long shot.
00:20Brian Friedman issued a statement saying that
00:23Blake Lively's predictable declaration of victory is false.
00:27The court invited us to refile four of the seven claims.
00:31Which Friedman says will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations.
00:36Unfortunately for Justin, the other three claims cannot be refiled and those were big.
00:41Those are the defamation claims that Justin had filed against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times.
00:47He was suing collectively for $650 million. Those damages are out.
00:51Now he's talking about really sort of small potatoes and damages.
00:55But Friedman thinks it's about more than that.
00:58Where we wanted our win is to show there was no smear campaign and there's no sexual harassment.
01:03Isn't Justin Baldoni trying to do two things here?
01:05One, win in court, but also win in the court of public opinion.
01:09He's already won there.
01:10He had won in the court of public opinion, but I think this result now shifts that.
01:14No, it makes us want to fight harder.
01:16In fact, Baldoni's fans are now calling foul play with the judge.
01:20We're like, the judge is on her payroll as well and we gotta fight the man.
01:24Which, by the way, is nonsense.
01:26I'll tell you one thing about the judge that is reported.
01:28He's gonna have a cameo in Deadpool.
01:30His name is .
01:33Meet Judgepool.
01:35It's a moral victory for him, but he's lost a lot.
01:38And it's not gonna be much money.
01:40He wants to work again in Hollywood. Right now he can't.
01:43So it seems that Justin will keep fighting. But will it work?
