In this update, we break down the latest twist in the Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively legal saga. Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios have filed new court documents pushing back on Lively's request for nearly $8 million in attorneys' fees and costs tied to their "It Ends With Us" legal battle. Baldoni's team argues the request — covering over 7,000 billed hours from 82 timekeepers — is bloated and excessive, pointing to The New York Times' much smaller fee request in a similar dismissed claim as a benchmark. We cover what this means for the ongoing fallout from their settled lawsuit and what could happen next...
