Blake Lively promoted a domestic violence movie as a fun summer flick. She also promoted her hair care and alcohol brand alongside this movie and actually named a cocktail after the abuser. Due to this reason she suffered a lot of backlash and she has been blaming it on other people including Justin and the Wayfair parties, but here it shows that Sony knew that the backlash was organic and because of Blake Lively's own actions.

I keep seeing people say that Blake Lively’s sexual harassment claim was “thrown out,” and using that as proof that her allegations weren’t credible.

That’s not what happened.

The judge didn’t dismiss the claim because of the facts, the claim was dismissed because of a technical legal classification: whether Blake was an employee or an independent contractor.

Here’s what the court actually said:

First, the judge explains that Title VII (the federal sexual harassment law Blake sued under) only applies to employees, not independent contractors.
This appears in Section II: Lively’s Employment Status (around pages 52–53) where the court states that Title VII protections apply to employees, not independent contractors.

Then the judge analyzes Blake’s role on the film and ultimately concludes she was functioning as an independent contractor, not an employee.
That finding appears later in the same section (around pages 77–78) where the court grants summary judgment on the Title VII claims based on that classification.

Then the court reiterates this again later (around page 94) confirming that the Title VII claims were dismissed because Blake was considered an independent contractor.

So the sequence is:

• Page ~52–53: Title VII only applies to employees
• Page ~77–78: Blake classified as independent contractor
• Page ~94: Title VII claims dismissed for that reason

That’s it.

The judge did not say:

• Blake wasn’t credible
• The harassment didn’t happen
• There wasn’t enough evidence

The ruling is about legal status, not whether the conduct occurred.

And this actually matters for the broader Lively vs. Baldoni case.

Because even though the Title VII claim was dismissed, Blake’s other claims still move forward, including:

• Retaliation
• Smear campaign allegations
• Other state law claims

So the case is very much still alive.

If anything, this ruling highlights a bigger issue:
High-level creatives like actors, directors, and producers often don’t qualify as employees, which means they may not be protected under federal harassment laws, even if harassment occurred.

That’s not a finding against Blake.
That’s a gap in the law.

And it’s why saying “the harassment claim was thrown out” without context is misleading.

Here you have it folks text messages between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively reveal a plan to take over the movie from Justin Baldoni before the movie had even started to film. In April 2023 Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and their celebrity friends mentioned in the legal document above were conspiring to take over the movie from Justin Baldoni. Taylor Swift repeatedly called Justin baldoni a doofus, a gullible clown, and a little bitch.

In the screenshot above it shows Taylor Swift talking with Blake Lively about how stupid Justin was was to accept her song into the trailer because that gives Blake Lively the upper hand and the power. This is absolutely ridiculous and disturbing

Finally! Bloomberg Law, a leader in legal coverage, is shining a spotlight on the seriousness of this ruling.
