Justin Baldoni has challenged Blake Lively's request for legal fees, calling it "excessive" in a new court filing. Lively had asked for approximately $8 million in attorneys' fees and costs following their settlement. Baldoni's legal team argued that the request shows "multiple lawyers at the same hearings" and "extremely excessive research and online investigation." Baldoni's attorneys compared Lively's request to the New York Times seeking $181,622.70 in attorneys' fees to dismiss a similar defamation claim. They argued that the $8 million request "should be denied in its entirety." Baldoni broke his silence on the legal battle last week, posting an Instagram video with his wife, saying "there have been so many painful things spoken into existence over the last couple years. Untruthful."
