Robyn Lively publicly supported her sister Blake Lively via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, June 10, after Justin Baldoni’s countersuit against Blake was dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman.
Robyn, 53, shared a throwback photo of the sisters embracing with the caption “I held you then…” followed by a recent selfie tagged “…Now,” and a hand-holding image with “…And always.” She concluded, “No one knows you quite like I do, and man am I ever proud of you. I love you sister.”
Blake, 37, reposted the support and replied, “I love you more. Always. Forever. Near or far. Closer together,” adding a heartfelt sticker to her story.
The dismissal came after Baldoni, 41, filed a $250 million libel suit against The New York Times, which initially reported sexual harassment allegations made by Blake during the December 2024 press cycle. Though the judge dismissed three defamation and harassment counts, Baldoni may still amend claims related to breach of implied covenant and tortious interference by June 23, 2025.
Blake's legal team called the ruling a “total victory and a complete vindication,” and indicated plans to seek attorneys’ fees, treble damages, and punitive relief. Blake herself issued a statement reinforcing her commitment to women's rights, expressing solidarity with other survivors, and encouraging use of resources like the National Network to End Domestic Violence.
Insiders close to Blake and husband Ryan Reynolds say the family feels vindicated and relieved, with Blake “proud that she continued to use her voice.” Baldoni’s attorney countered that the case will move forward, citing remaining claims and planned deposition in March 2026.
The dismissal marks a pivotal moment in the legal fight, spotlighting sisterly solidarity in Hollywood and underscoring ongoing conversations about accountability and survivors’ rights.
