💨 Abstract

A judge has indicated that he may dismiss the New York Times from a $400 million defamation lawsuit brought by actor Justin Baldoni, who accused the newspaper of colluding with actress Blake Lively to smear him following sexual harassment allegations. The Times denied these claims, stating they merely gathered and published news, and that the defamatory statement in the article was protected opinion.
