<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n‘It Ends With Us’ co-stars Blake Lively<\/a> and Justin Baldoni<\/a> surprised all when they settled their high-profile lawsuit, just two weeks before going to trial.Amid rumours that a lot of money exchanged hands in the ‘settlement’, new reports indicate that this buzz is actually far from the truth. As per a report on TMZ, and confirmed by Page Six, neither Lively nor Baldoni, received any financial compensation.According to Page Six, both sides had been negotiating for several weeks and were \u201cencouraged to reach an agreement.\u201d Days ahead of the last-minute settlement, Lively had enlisted high-profile law firm Susman Godfrey to strengthen her legal defence, however, they encouraged \u201ca last-minute deal.\u201d This settlement was reportedly reached shortly before proceedings were set to escalate in court.While Lively and Baldoni reportedly walked away with nothing from this settlement, the same could not be said for their law firms. Lively and Baldoni\u2019s legal teams made USD 60 million combined to sue and countersue one another, sources told Page Six Hollywood.The agreement comes amid indications that the case may not have been progressing in Lively\u2019s favour, with reports suggesting that a judge had significantly narrowed the scope of her claims against Baldoni. Last month, Judge Lewis Liman threw out 10 of Lively\u2019s 13 claims against Baldoni, including sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy.He ruled that only three of her claims could proceed: breach of contract, retaliation and aiding and abetting in retaliation.Representatives for both Lively and Baldoni have not publicly commented on the settlement, but issued a joint statement. \u201cThe end product \u2014 the movie \u2018It Ends With Us\u2019 \u2014 is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life,\u201d both sides said and added, \u201cRaising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors \u2014 and all survivors \u2014 is a goal that we stand behind.\u201dBoth parties added that they \u201cremain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments\u201d and it is their \u201csincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.\u201dBlake Lively and Justin Baldoni were reportedly set to go on trial on May 18.<\/div>\n
