Even after a US judge dismissed 10 of 13 claims in his ongoing lawsuit, he expressed gratitude that parts of his case would go to trial. “I’m grateful for the Court’s ruling that allows me to present the core of my case to a jury next month, and to finally have the ability to tell my full story at trial, for my own benefit, but also for those who don’t have the same opportunity…many I’ve known and loved throughout my life, and countless others I’ll never know.“Defending his decision to file the multi-million dollar lawsuit, he said, “The last thing I wanted in my life was a lawsuit, but I filed this lawsuit because of the extensive REWARDS I faced, and I continue to do so, privately and professionally to demand a safe work environment for myself and others. I hope the Court’s decisions show others that as painful as it is, you can speak up.”In a series of messages and excerpts from the verdict, Lively asked her fans not to be “distracted by the digital soap opera.”He added: “The physical pain of digital violence is very real. It’s abuse. And it’s everywhere…my claims won’t be the first or last time you’ll see examples of the extreme dangers of retaliation and digital warfare.”He ended by thanking his followers: “I cannot begin to praise the countless who have gone before me – and the masses who are still around us – creating laws, social change, sparking conversations, gatherings, working privately and publicly, risking the safety of others and sometimes losing everything in every space. Some of us know the names, most of us don’t. Thank you All of you… Your support keeps me going.“

However, his posts also drew criticism on social media, with several users trolling his comments. One comment read: “Blake is a maniac posting Canva template quotes on her Instagram stories.” Another said: “Blake Lively is in total meltdown mode with non-stop IG stories. Posting quotes from files, desperate to prove she’s not lost like most people thought. At this point, someone should probably get off their phone because this crash just isn’t stopping.“Some users questioned the nature of her claims, with one writing: “So Blake is now saying the heart of her case is revenge and not sexual harassment.” Another said: “Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds know exactly that they are not victims! They bully people and play the victim. I know the only kind of people who do that! Joy and Justice for Justin,” and “Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are gaslighting, EGOMANIACS! All he had to do was stand by Justin’s side at the premiere to apologize for being marketing to Kjersti. THEY REFUSED. They think they are VICTIMS. That’s why today he is LOSING on his social networks”.According to recent reports, Blake and Justin’s legal teams have been called in for “settlement” talks on Monday before the case goes to trial in May. Earlier settlement talks in February failed even after hours of debate.
