Despite dismissing 10 of the 13 allegations in the case, Lively’s legal team says it is focusing on her retaliation and defamation claims.“This case has always been and will continue to be about the devastating retaliation and unprecedented steps taken by the defendants to destroy Blake Lively’s reputation for standing up for safety on set,” said Sigrid McCawley, one of Lively’s lawyers, as quoted by Deadline.He added that he hopes Lively will testify at the trial and highlight the coordinated online attacks on women in Hollywood.Baldoni’s legal team, on the other hand, welcomed the decision and emphasized that the dismissal does not imply any wrongdoing. “The sexual harassment case will not proceed because the defendants did nothing wrong, but because the court ruled that Blake Lively was an independent contractor, not an employee,” attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Jonathan Bach said.
