After judge rules Baldoni must pay Blake Lively's atty fees, will we know the amount before 6/20?

As of June 20, 2026, the specific dollar amount Justin Baldoni must pay Blake Lively in attorney's fees had not been publicly disclosed. Judge Lewis Liman had previously ruled that Lively was entitled to recover her defense costs under a 2023 California law protecting sexual abuse accusers from retaliatory defamation suits, after Baldoni's $400 million defamation claim against her was dismissed.
The parties reached a settlement in early May 2026, with terms allowing Lively to continue seeking fees and additional damages. However, quantifying the actual dollar figure requires a separate court proceeding — the judge's ruling established entitlement to fees, not the amount. Baldoni's legal team noted that fees were awarded only for a single claim in a case that lasted a matter of months. That determination had not been reached by the June 20 deadline.
The community called this correctly at 71 percent NO, anticipating that the legal process would not move fast enough to produce a disclosed figure within the resolution window.
