Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni return to court a month after reaching settlement

Lively's legal team are suing her It Ends with Us co-star for legal fees and damages, reigniting a years-long court battle

Attorneys for US actor Blake Likely were back in front of a New York judge on Monday to demand legal fees and damages from It Ends with Us co-star Justin Baldoni, after a settlement was reached last month in their years-long legal battle.

The 38-year-old actor's legal team argued that the defamation lawsuit brought against her by Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, was a retaliatory move prohibited by California law.
