Blake Lively agreed to settle her claims against Justin Baldoni‘s Wayfarer Studios on Monday, but her legal battle continues in the form of a motion for attorney fees resulting from Baldoni’s failed defamation suit against her.

Lively filed the motion last September under a 2023 California law that seeks to protect sexual abuse accusers from “weaponized” defamation suits. That motion was the one piece of the legal feud left unresolved by the settlement.
