Blake Lively won a partial victory on Friday, as a judge ordered Wayfarer Studios to pay her attorneys fees for having to defend against Justin Baldoni‘s failed defamation suit.

The judge, Lewis Liman, ruled that Lively was entitled to recover her defense costs under a 2023 California law meant to protect sexual abuse accusers from retaliatory defamation suits.

Liman, however, denied Lively’s motion for triple damages and punitive damages, finding that those remedies are not available under federal law.
