Nobody does effortless California cool quite like Jennifer Aniston, but according to the actress, her iconic glow is anything but accidental.

While celebrating the launch of LolaVie’s Speed Dry Heat Protectant Spray at Nova Studios in Los Angeles, California on May 7, Aniston opened up about the surprisingly intentional routine behind her laidback aesthetic.

“It’s funny considering I’m born in California, but grew up in New York City, so really, that California look didn’t just fall off a truck,” she joked during a fireside chat with makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

Still, the Friends star has perfected the formula for that naturally sun-kissed vibe, and it’s rooted in a wellness first philosophy.

“It starts from the inside,” Aniston explained. “How we take care of ourselves affects our skin directly and our hair obviously, so it’s a holistic approach.”

Rather than relying on quick fixes, The Morning Show star believes real radiance comes from more than just great glam.

“Let’s actually be healthy from the inside. It’s an inside job. … It’s not just like, ‘Let’s just put band aids on everything and make it look and present as beautiful and healthy,’” she shared.

That same thinking extends to the products she uses, too. Aniston gravitates toward formulas that nourish her complexion and mane long-term, instead of creating temporary results.

“With a lot of hair care and makeup, there’s sort of this momentary love fest where it all looks gorgeous and your skin is glowing or your hair is bouncing and shiny,” she said. 

“Then eventually, when the ingredients are not pure or organic, they start to backfire. … Your skin starts to breakout, there’s buildup, and it’s just not good.”

That’s why she sticks to trusted staples from Charlotte Tilbury alongside must-haves from her own haircare line.

“There’s healing properties in the makeup and in the hair product so that it will enhance our skin and hair, not destroy it.”

Among her current beauty favorites are the Wonderglow Face Primer, Airbrush Bronzer, and Glowing Jen Hot Lips 2, a beachy rose lipstick shade inspired by Aniston herself.

“It’s not too red and it’s not too pink and it’s not too brown,” she dished. “It’s sort of the perfect mix.”

She’s also loyal to the makeup brand’s Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray because, as Aniston put it, “You can swim in it!”

And for achieving those signature undone waves without a dip in the ocean? LolaVie’s newest offering has become her go-to.

“You spray it on while your hair is wet, before blow drying or natural air drying, and it cuts your blow dry down in half,’ she noted. “Plus, it adds shine and heat protection.”

‘Misery’ (1990)

Starting off with an epic nailbiter, we have Misery, the tense, claustrophobic horror thriller directed by the late Rob Reiner and based on a riveting Stephen King novel. What happens when a celebrity faces their worst nightmare of encountering a dangerous fan? Well, for writer Paul Sheldon (James Caan), he has to face that nightmare alone, as, after a debilitating car accident, he’s rescued but then held captive by his obsessed #1 fan Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), a disturbed former nurse who’s not going to let him go.

Its claustrophobic tension mixed with a creepy stalker premise that turned this much-beloved Stephen King adaptation into one of his most regarded and acclaimed efforts. It leaves you constantly on edge, fearing just what Annie may be capable of and how far she’ll go to keep Paul all to herself. Kathy Bates’ wildly unpredictable performance as this deranged captor earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, a rare achievement for the horror genre, showing just how perfect her casting was.

Starring Oscar winners Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, it follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she probes the mind of the brilliant convicted killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter to trace the behavior of another serial killer on the loose and stop him before he kills his next victim.

You follow along with Clarice as she engages in a mental game of chess with Dr. Lecter, learning something new about her target while also dodging Lecter’s psychological forms of intimidation. Every scene with Lecter is pure nightmare-fuel as the great Anthony Hopkins delivers a terrifyingly memorable performance as this dangerous yet eerily sophisticated criminal mastermind. The Silence of the Lambs has become recognized as being timelessly thrilling, as the mystery and chilling performances have kept relevant and exciting throughout the years.

In a year dominated by cinematic wonder, it was Andrew Davis‘ The Fugitive that became one of its most thrilling standouts. This pulse-pounding action thriller combines epic chases, daring escapes, and tight suspense, all mixed into a fascinating mystery. It sees the iconic Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, a man wrongfully accused of murdering his wife, who escapes custody and must prove his innocence while a dedicated U.S. Marshall, Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), hunts him down at all costs.

What ensues in this two-hour-long nail-biter is one of the most gripping games of cat and mouse ever brought to the silver screen. You follow as Kimble tries to clear his name, while Gerard never stops to find and bring him in dead or alive. There are a lot of close calls, moments where it seems hopeless for Kimble to succeed, and it all makes you worried if he’s ever going to make it out of this situation at all. Truly, The Fugitive is an edge-of-your-seat experience that doesn’t get old, and will always get more thrilling with age.

‘Speed’ (1994)

Buckle up for a nonstop thrill ride in this legendary 1994 action spectacle. Jan de Bont‘s Speed is an explosive peak of ’90s blockbuster cinema, featuring thrilling suspense and jaw-dropping excitement. Starring Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper, it sees hot-shot LAPD SWAT officer Jack Traven as he races against the clock to thwart a crazed extortionist’s plan to blow up a city bus full of people that will explode if it drops below 50 mph.

Speed is a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled blast of entertainment that became the movie-going experience of 1994. Even now, it’s still tense, nailbiting, and feels like one big stressful race that never lets up the suspense until the last explosion. The performances from the likable, iconic cast make it fun and engaging, and its simple yet epic premise ensures that audiences are in for a wild, fun ride.

‘Se7en’ (1995)

1995 saw a slew of instant thriller classics, from Heat and Jade to The Usual Suspects. But, truly, none of these come close to the mind-blowing greatness that is David Fincher‘s career-defining thriller masterpiece Se7en. Starring Oscar winners Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, it follows an experienced, disillusioned police detective and his hot-shot, young partner as they track a highly elusive serial killer who is basing his murders on the seven deadly sins.

This intense, hauntingly bleak mystery crime flick transcended the decade to become one of the most memorable thrillers in movie history. From its well-structured mystery and eerie suspense to the fantastic lead performances and riveting dialogue, it’s got something here to completely drag you into a thrilling experience. Even its ending alone is enough to leave you speechless and never forget the film long after seeing it. Overall, Se7en’s not just a perfect thriller, it’s simply one of the most perfect movies, period.

‘Scream’ (1996)

The mid ’90s were arguably the lowest point of the horror genre, a time stagnated by tired sequels and schlocky nonsense. But in 1996, along came a savior in the form of Scream, a trailblazing horror comedy that mixed terror, humor, and thrills all into one powerful blend that changed horror and cinema for the better. Directed by the late Wes Craven, it follows a group of California high schoolers as they use their knowledge of horror movie tropes to figure out who among them has been going around killing people in a Ghostface mask.

It’s simply an endless blast of creative fun and excitement, featuring an enduring whodunnit slasher premise that doesn’t get old and only gets better with age. Scream changed the game, popularizing the meta-horror trope that would carry on well into our current era. It’s undoubtedly funny, terrifying at times, and has an edge-of-your-seat feeling that is nonstop throughout its entire runtime. Truly ’90s pop culture would not be the same without it.

‘Funny Games’ (1997)

Experience heartbreaking terror unlike anything else in ’90s cinema. Released in 1997, Funny Games is a heavy psychological torture thriller from Germany. What happens through its nearly two-hour-long runtime is one of the most shocking and depressing looks at human nature and senseless violence ever brought to the screen. It follows an innocent family of three on vacation at their secluded lake house as they’re put through a night of horror by a pair of sadistic teenage boys who torment them for fun.

It’s a twisted delve into how we as audiences react to violence, and the central message has us take a deep look into ourselves, and makes us feel part of the mayhem that occurs on screen. Funny Games has you holding your breath right up to a devastatingly bleak and intentionally unsatisfying finale, and it’s one you can’t get out of your mind. Really, it has surpassed the decade to become an all-time thriller classic.

‘A Simple Plan’ (1998)

No doubt one of the most underrated thrillers of the 1990s, 1998’s A Simple Plan may have slipped under most people’s radars at first, but make no mistake, it’s an undeniable masterpiece. Starring the late Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton, it’s a tragic tale of greed, following two blue-collar brothers and their best friend as they slowly become paranoid and face the threat of being killed when they stumble upon and keep a bag full of money that they found in an undiscovered plane crash in the woods.

A Simple Plan is an excellent blend of character drama, crime, and mystery to perfectly thrill viewers from beginning to end. It keeps you hooked with a nailbiting premise that follows these men as they debate whether to keep the money for themselves and face retaliation by its criminal owners or turn it over to the police. It’s very thought-provoking and even tragic, as it ends on a sour note, as the last survivor is left alone without even claiming the money. Overall, it’s a fantastic hidden thriller gem that truly needs to be experienced more.

‘The Sixth Sense’ (1999)

Ending the decade on a glorious high note was The Sixth Sense, the groundbreaking supernatural horror thriller by memorable filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. This iconic staple of ’90s pop culture became one of the most acclaimed features of 1999, featuring Oscar-worthy acting and brilliant storytelling. Starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, it follows a revered child psychiatrist who, after a brush with death at the hands of a disgruntled former patient, seeks to find redemption in himself by helping a struggling, lonely boy with a unique power to see ghosts.

The Sixth Sense has the power to firmly grip onto the viewers, taking them through a wildly emotional, and at times, horrifyingly thrilling, ride through its unique premise. It keeps mounting with shock and suspense, culminating in one of the most unexpected twist endings in movie history. It’s timelessly engaging, and it capped off the 1990s with a thunderous bang, cementing this decade as one of the most significant in thriller history.

Blake Shelton is playfully blaming his manager after missing his wife Gwen Stefani’s major Las Vegas residency opening night. While Stefani reunited with No Doubt for the launch of the band’s new residency at Sphere on Wednesday night, Shelton was busy kicking off his own residency performances across town. And according to Blake Shelton, the scheduling conflict was less than ideal.

During his concert at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Shelton joked with the crowd about being unable to attend Stefani’s highly anticipated opening night show. “My wife came to town. She’s here. I mean, she’s not. She’s over there at the other venue,” he told concertgoers.

The singer then jokingly turned his frustration toward his management team. “What kind of a d-ckhead books us the same nights every single night? I think my manager did that,” Shelton quipped from the stage.

Although the couple’s shows are taking place just minutes apart on the Las Vegas Strip, Shelton’s residency obligations prevented him from attending in person.

Gwen Stefani Reunites With No Doubt At Sphere

Meanwhile, Stefani officially reunited with Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont for No Doubt’s new 18-show residency. The band reportedly opened the show with “Tragic Kingdom” from their iconic 1995 album of the same name, marking the first time in nearly two decades they performed the song live in that format.

Fans were also treated to several major hits and rarely performed tracks throughout the night. The residency is set to continue through June 13.

Gwen Stefani Admits She Got ‘Emotional’ During No Doubt’s Opening Night

While Blake Shelton was joking about missing the show, Gwen Stefani was busy delivering an emotional night of nostalgia for longtime No Doubt fans. Over the course of the nearly two-hour performance, Stefani and the band performed 21 songs, including several tracks that hadn’t been played live in decades.

One standout moment came when the band performed “The Climb” from 1995’s “Tragic Kingdom” for the first time in 29 years. At one point during the show, Stefani admitted the moment was starting to hit her emotionally. “I’m getting a little emotional up here,” she told the screaming crowd.

Fans attending the residency also had the chance to experience the “No Doubt Experience,” an immersive pop-up installation at the Venetian featuring memorabilia and artifacts celebrating the group’s history. But that’s not all, because Gwen Stefani also made sure fans became part of the show itself, inviting several superfans onstage throughout the night, including during one of No Doubt’s most iconic songs, “Just a Girl.”

Before launching into the track, Stefani reflected on writing the anthem decades ago and admitted she never expected it to remain so culturally relevant. “I wrote this song out of pure innocence in a time where I was just becoming aware of myself and my surroundings,” she told the crowd.

“But I always thought that I would be like … I would grow up too much to sing it and it would be out of style,” she continued, before asking fans, “but you tell me if you think it’s still relevant or stylish or? It’s up to you guys.”

Shelton Previously Joked About Competing With Stefani

This isn’t the first time Shelton has joked about the couple’s Vegas showdown. Earlier this year, the singer admitted he expected some “trash talking” between the pair as they prepared for their respective residencies. “I’m excited about that because i know there’ll be probably a little bit of trash talking,” he previously said.

Shelton also poked fun at the massive size difference between the venues, comparing the Sphere’s roughly 20,000-seat capacity to the more intimate Colosseum. “Whether we both sell out, there’s a big difference in selling out the Sphere and selling out Caesars, so she’ll have that over my head,” he joked. “Yeah, it’s not very friendly when it’s absolute a-s-kicking.”

Blake Shelton And Gwen Stefani’s Relationship Has Stayed In Spotlight

Shelton and Stefani first met while serving as coaches on “The Voice” in 2014 before confirming their relationship the following year. The couple got engaged in 2020 and married in 2021.

Stefani shares sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. According to reports, Stefani’s children were also absent from the residency opening because it fell on a school night. Still, despite the scheduling chaos, Shelton made it clear he’s cheering his wife on, even if it has to happen from across the Strip.

There is a new Evil Dead movie coming out this summer, this one called Evil Dead: Burn. It is the sixth movie in the franchise, and a few trailers for it dropped on May 5, 2026.

The trailers heavily feature a fatal car accident and funeral for a character named Will, played by George Pullar. He seems to have a wife, teenaged children, and other family members who are grieving for him. The rest of the family harks out to a cabin in the woods, where the nefarious Necronomicon makes its appearance and is far too tempting not to read. What results is a mayhem of murderous hillbillies, and family and friends turned by the book into Kandarian demons that slaughter their way through the living with impunity.

The Evolution Of Evil Dead

The original Evil Dead was about a group of five college students who stayed in a cabin in the middle of the woods, one which happened to belong to an archaeology professor who retreated there to study his latest find: the Necronomicon. Of the group, only one survives: Ash (the iconic Bruce Campbell), bumbling, wisecracking, and full of ingenuity and contemporary know-how. Once Ash recovers from the initial shock of all his friends being turned into Deadites by the Necronomicon’s magic, he slashes and shoots his way through three movies and a three-season series.

2013’s Evil Dead, directed by Fede Alvarez, returned to the seriousness of the first movie with a new version of the Necronomicon that got read by five more curious students, this time on retreat to help Mia (Jane Levy) withdraw from drug addiction. While this version did return the story to the cabin in the woods, it also introduced elevated horror to the Evil Dead franchise.

Evil Dead, Elevated?

Elevated horror is horror that represents some other struggle. For example, there is elevated horror about childhood trauma, mental illness, LGBQT issues, and suicide. Rather than being a simple horror story, elevated horror emphasizes its social point, with the horror as a mere allegory for it. In Evil Dead (2013), the message was about drug addiction.

Lee Cronin added his own layer of elevated horror to Evil Dead: Rise, which came out in 2023 and followed two sisters: a drifter and a single mom with three children. Removing itself from the cabin in the woods, this one took place in a high rise in Los Angeles and turned mom Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) into a Deadite early so she could terrorize her neighbors, her children, and her sister Beth (Lily Sullivan). Cronin’s other movies, The Hole in the Ground and the recent theatrical release, The Mummy, also focus on parenthood and protection of children, a theme he could not resist integrating into his take on the Kandarian demon franchise.

Ressurection With Intention

Evil Dead: Burn looks like it is doing the same: keeping the Deadites and the Necronomicon, but also keeping “the message,” this time a theme of grieving loss. Rather than reading the Necronomicon out of accident or misplaced curiosity, Luciane Buchannan’s heroine, named Thya, reads from it in the hopes that it would resurrect a dead loved one. The hillbillies that figured vaguely into the first movie and more definitively in the 2013 version seem to also be making a comeback, but are part of the problem, not the solution.

As a long-time fan of the Evil Dead series, some of the permutations that have been introduced to the continuity, like the hillbilly witch in the 2013 film, or the Necronomicon being read on audio rather than aloud, do add interesting new angles to the epic of the Kandarian demons. But I can’t help but feel that each new movie that doesn’t include Ash is merely using the Kandarian demons to spread whatever “elevated horror” message that particular director intends.

Ash’s Absence

Ash was fun: taking a beating, being tortured by a demon inhabiting his girlfriend, traveling back in time, leading the charge against an entire army of the dead, and finally settling into a career in retail, only to start the whole cycle again in an intoxicated stupor. He was too bumbling to be taken seriously while simultaneously being the hero we need rather than the hero we want. He’s got wisecracks and memorable one-liners and is an action hero alongside being a horror movie survivor.

Subsequent Evil Dead movies have been so interested in being elevated horror that they forgot that Evil Dead is supposed to be fun. Alvarez and Cronin had reputations as horror directors to protect and didn’t take some of the more comedic risks that creator Sam Raimi pioneered. They focus on what’s gory and scary about Kandarian demons without giving us a new hero to root for, which removes half of what made the original Evil Dead movies what they were.

Unaddressed Loose Ends

Furthermore, previous installments left loose ends in the form of Mia from the 2013 film, and Beth and Kassie from Evil Dead: Rise; the Rise epilogue also features new young people in a cabin in the woods but never establishes what happened to them. These stories are so disparate that their characters are forgettable and don’t seem like part of the continuity.

Evil Dead has become an anthology as new movies continue to be made, which shouldn’t be a bad thing (especially as Bruce Campbell is too old to play Ash), but it has strayed too far in tone from the original work. Each new movie is following its own individual storyline, making them Evil Dead in name only.

Evil Dead: Burn comes out in theaters on July 10, 2026. What will happen when the Necronomicon is unleashed?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enthusiastic supporters of Sadie Sink as she hits a new career milestone.

Swift and Kelce, both 36, attended Sink’s Romeo & Juliet play at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London on Thursday, May 7.

Sink, 24, made her West End debut in the production, which opened in March. She is currently starring as Juliet, while Noah Jupe portrays Romeo.

In fan videos shared via social media, Swift and Kelce can be seen giving Sink and the rest of the cast and crew a standing ovation at the conclusion of the play.

The same night, the “Shake It Off” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who got engaged last August, were spotted leaving Indian restaurant Gymkhana. In photos obtained by TMZ, they held hands as they left the London hotspot on their date night.

Swift and Sink collaborated on the singer’s All Too Well: The Short Film, released in 2021. The Stranger Things alum and Dylan O’Brien starred as troubled love interests in the music video that accompanied the 10-minute version of Swift’s song “All Too Well.”

Appearing at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2022, Swift spoke about why she chose the actress to play the role.

“Sadie has this versatility, because I just really wanted someone who could go from that idealism and that unbroken spirit and we see that,” she said of Sink. “It’s so palpable when we first meet her, and I wanted to show their closeness with handheld shots. I wanted to be so close we could count the freckles.”

Thank You!

Swift continued: “And then as things transpire and things fall apart, I wanted our shots to reflect the remoteness that she feels — this desperate isolation that she feels — because her world opened up to this incredible big passionate intense love and then it just, all of a sudden, overnight it boiled down to nothing and the floor fell through and she just feels far away from all her friends and her old life because she’s been in this adult mature world that she never felt quite fit either.”

In multiple interviews, Sink has praised Swift and opened up about how surreal it felt to be handpicked by the Grammy winner for the role.

“Like I didn’t know she knew I existed!” she gushed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May 2022. “And if she would have asked me to be a tree in something I would have said yes in a heartbeat.”

On Thursday, Caleb took to his Instagram Stories with a series of lengthy posts. His statements stress that he understands the seriousness of the case and does not want to insert himself into an ongoing legal matter. Additionally, he directly denied claims that he was protecting his brother or had any knowledge of wrongdoing. Caleb said he has not lived with D4vd in years and that they rarely speak outside of brief family interactions. He also addressed resurfaced footage showing him around Celeste Rivas Hernandez at a concert when he was 15. However, Caleb claimed that the clip was taken out of context. He also revealed that he did not know her well or know her age at the time.

What Else Caleb Burke Said In His Statement?

Caleb also pushed back on claims that he was using the situation for attention or to boost his music career. He said he’s been making music for years and recently rebranded under a new stage name. Caleb added that he even stepped away from music for months because of the emotional toll surrounding the case. He also called out inaccuracies in reports about his age and timeline, saying his creative reset was planned long before the case resurfaced publicly. As D4vd continues facing serious legal proceedings following his April arrest, Caleb ended his statement by saying he’s focused on building his own path through music and separating himself from the allegations tied to his brother.

D4vd’s TikTok Account Disappears Amid Legal Fallout

The online fallout surrounding D4vd continues to grow. And, yet another major platform appears to have distanced itself from the singer following his recent legal troubles. This time, fans noticed that his TikTok account has seemingly disappeared entirely. Now, users can no longer find his page just weeks after he was charged in connection to the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Users searching for D4vd’s profile are now met with a notice saying the account has been banned. All content tied to the page appears to have been removed. While TikTok has not confirmed the reason behind the ban, the platform does prohibit content tied to violence or harmful conduct. TMZ reports that inquiries have been made to TikTok, but no public statement has been released yet. D4vd’s preliminary hearing is now set for May 26 after his defense team requested more time to review evidence.

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer is speaking out after Blake Lively requested damages following their recent settlement agreement.

Us Weekly obtained court documents on Thursday, May 7, in which Lively, 38, claimed she was “entitled” to receive damages because of the “harm” she suffered as a result of what she described as “retaliatory defamation action” by Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios in their legal battle over the production of It Ends With Us. (In December 2024, Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment, defamation, breach of contract, retaliation and more; however, 10 of the 13 claims were dismissed by a judge last month. Baldoni countersued for $400 million, but his lawsuit was dismissed entirely in June 2025.)

In the docs, Lively requested “‘reasonable attorney’s fees and costs for successfully defending [herself] in the litigation,’ treble damages for the harm caused by the Wayfarer Parties’ retaliatory ‘defamation action’ against her and punitive damages sufficient to deter the Wayfarer Parties from engaging in such conduct in the future.”

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday that he was surprised by Lively’s latest legal move after the parties announced on Monday, May 4, they had reached a settlement.

New monetary details regarding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s surprise It Ends With Us legal settlement have been revealed. A source tells Us Weekly that no money was exchanged between Lively, 38, and Baldoni, 42, in the Monday, May 4, settlement, which ended the contentious legal battle between the former costars while avoiding a trial. […]

“I think they have their own interpretation of what they think is the law. I think it’s a procedural motion that’s left in the case. It’s pretty standard,” Freedman said. “But when you want to parade around and call a loss a victory, this is your attempt to do so. It seems like more nonsense from Ms. Lively.”

“I think it’s impossible for Ms. Lively to take responsibility for any part of her actions,” he added. “If one can’t see themselves, one can’t honestly, realistically, look at their part in things, it makes for a troubled existence.”

Earlier on Thursday, Lively’s attorneys, Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson, deemed the settlement a “resounding victory” for their client and explained why they are seeking damages on her behalf.

“By agreeing to this settlement, and waiving their right to appeal, Justin Baldoni and every individual defendant now face personal liability for abusing the legal system to silence and intimidate Ms. Lively,” the attorneys said. “And by admitting that Ms. Lively’s concerns ‘deserved to be heard,’ the defendants have ended once and for all the fiction that Ms. Lively ‘fabricated’ claims of sexual harassment and retaliation.”

This week on Legally Us, Rachael Bennett, a certified family law specialist and senior attorney at Sullivan Law & Associates, breaks down Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal settlement. On Monday, May 4, news broke that Blake Lively, 38, and Justin Baldoni, 42, had reached a settlement in their lawsuit after nearly two years, just […]

“From day one, Blake Lively’s mission was clear: expose and hold accountable those who weaponize smear campaigns and retaliatory lawsuits to intimidate and silence survivors. That mission continues,” the lawyers added.

On Thursday, Freedman was asked whether Baldoni might consider a payout to Lively in order to put an end to the legal back-and-forth between them.

He responded, “I wouldn’t want to reveal whatever my client’s confidences are, but from day one, we’ve been saying we would never settle this case, and Justin has been saying we would never settle this case if it involved an allegation of sexual harassment.”

“We’ll see how the judge rules on that,” he added of Lively’s request for damages. “I have a feeling Ms. Lively will probably continue to go back into court. … At some point, somebody’s got to look in the mirror and take responsibility for their own actions. That’s yet to happen.”

In a statement issued earlier this week, Baldoni and Lively’s teams mutually announced the stars had reached a settlement in Lively’s lawsuit, which had been due to go to trial on May 18.

“The end product – the movie It Ends With Us – is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind,” they said. “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.”

The statement added, “We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”
