A judge says Blake Lively did nothing wrong – level 1
13-06-2025 15:00
A judge says Justin Baldoni cannot continue his big court case against Blake Lively. Baldoni says Lively says bad things about him during a movie. But the judge says that this is okay. The judge also stops Baldoni’s case against a newspaper.
The judge says Baldoni does not have enough information that something bad happens. He says that Baldoni can start a smaller court case. Lively has her case. She wants money. They are going to court again in 2026.
Lively’s lawyers are happy. They say that Baldoni’s court case is not real. The newspaper says they only tell a news story, and the judge thinks the same.
Difficult words: continue (to keep doing something), case (a problem or story in court), lawyer (a person who helps you in court).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
In what year are Baldoni and Lively scheduled to return to court?
