Justin Baldoni feels optimistic after Blake Lively settlement

The co-stars announced their case settlement outside court

It Ends With Us legal drama came to an end after the co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively announced they have reached a settlement on Monday.

Following the announcement, the actor’s attorney has revealed how he is dealing with the settlement aftermath.

The attorney of Justin, Bryan Freedman told TMZ Live that they are considering it a huge victory.

“It was a huge victory. It was an incredible opportunity, and I don't think you pass up an incredible opportunity.”

Speaking of the gravity of the accusations imposed by Blake against Justin, Bryan said “To be accused of sexual harassment on such a public level is devastating.”

“What he went through, I get emotional speaking about it because he's such a great human being and stands for everything that is good about women and supporting women.”

The movie starred Blake and Justin in lead roles which was followed by the actress accusing her co-star for workplace harassment. Meanwhile, Justin countersued her for defamation.

The trial was set to begin May but the duo settled it outside court dasy before the trial was scheduled to begin.
