Justin Baldoni faces fresh harassment claims from It Ends With Us actress Isabela Ferrer, adding fuel to his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.

But on June 9, Judge Lewis Liman threw out Baldoni's lawsuit, ruling that the statements at the center of the suits were either privileged or lacked the necessary legal basis for defamation — a legal victory for Lively, her team later said in a statement.

It doesn’t seem much like the languid dog days of summer for Justin Baldoni when it comes to the It Ends With Us director’s sprawling legal fracas with Blake Lively over her claims of sexual harassment on the Sony released flick and the alleged online smear campaign that followed last year.
