💨 Abstract

A judge signaled he may dismiss the New York Times from a $400 million defamation lawsuit filed by actor Justin Baldoni, who accused the newspaper of colluding with actress Blake Lively to smear him after she accused him of sexual harassment. The judge found substantial grounds for dismissal and a strong showing that the Times' motion to dismiss is likely to succeed. The Times denies the allegations and claims the article was protected opinion.
