Director Paul Feig provided an update on Blake Lively, stating she is "soldiering on" amidst her ongoing legal battle with director Justin Baldoni. Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation, claims he denies. The trial is currently scheduled for May 18. Feig, who has collaborated with Lively on films like "A Simple Favor," spoke on the 2026 Oscars red carpet, emphasizing Lively's strength as a mother and her happy marriage. The legal dispute, which began after a rumored feud during the "It Ends with Us" press tour, involves Lively seeking over $160 million in damages. Baldoni's $400 million countersuit was dismissed.
