Blake Lively will not attend the 2025 Golden Globes due to Justin Baldoni’s legal battle
The actress will not be present at the awards ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 5, along with her husband Ryan Reynolds.
Blake Lively is sitting out of the 2025 Golden Globes.
The actress, 37, will not be attending the annual awards ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 5 amid her legal battle with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni, according to Deadline.
Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds will also reportedly not be attending the Golden Globes this weekend, along with his Deadpool & Wolverine costar Hugh Jackman, the outlet said.
Sources told Deadline that the three actors’ decision not to attend the ceremony was made “well in advance” of Lively’s complaint filing and ongoing legal battle with Baldoni, 40.
Representatives for Lively did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni and his associates, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign to tarnish her reputation, in December 2024.
Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called the claims “false,” and the actor filed a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times on Dec. 31 over the newspaper’s article about Lively’s complaint. (A spokesperson for The Times said its story “was meticulously and responsibly reported.”)
