A federal judge made a ruling on attorneys' fees in a defamation case. The case involved Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's production company. Lively was awarded a significant amount to cover her legal costs.

Her request for reimbursement was initially much higher, but the judge deemed the number of hours worked excessive. The judge's decision also excluded certain expenses. Further details about the case and the ruling are available.

The outcome is the result of a lawsuit that was previously dismissed.
