Blake Lively has asked a judge to award her $8 million in attorneys’ fees and costs for having to defend against Justin Baldoni‘s defamation suit against her.

Lively accused Baldoni, her co-star and director, of sexually harassing her on the set of “It Ends With Us,” and of launching an online whisper campaign against her after she complained. In response, Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios filed a $400 million defamation suit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging that they had weaponized false allegations of harassment in order to seize control of the film.
