Country music legend Dolly Parton will be remembered at two Dollyfest concerts in 2027, her estate announced Monday.

The concerts, billed as the "party of a lifetime," will be held across two consecutive weekends in 2027 in Nashville and London, according to her estate.

The celebration was originally scheduled to take place in Nashville in January this year, according to the estate, and was intended to be a "multi-artist event" featuring Parton, who died on Aug. 25 at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer.

"Many people behind the scenes know that DOLLYFEST is a dream of Dolly's that was intended to take place on her 80th birthday in Nashville," Danny Nozell, Parton's longtime manager, said in a statement Monday. "We had the venue booked and we had the announcement ready to go. And then, in August 2025, Dolly had to take a step back after her initial health challenges. A lot of people always say, WWDD (What Would Dolly Do?), and, well, at this moment, DOLLYFEST is WDWD (What Dolly Would Do!)."

"What Dolly started, we will ensure is brought to life," Nozell added.

Exact dates for the two 2027 Dollyfest celebrations are forthcoming, Parton's estate said, along with more information on who will be performing.

The upcoming celebrations were announced three days after Parton was laid to rest in a private memorial service in Nashville on Aug. 28, her niece Lainey Mae Parton shared in a social media post over the weekend.

Parton, who was preceded in death by her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, requested a private funeral, her nephew Bryan Seaver said in a video message announcing her death.

Parton was born one of 12 children in a small town in Tennessee and propelled herself to become one of the world's most successful entertainers, releasing 50 albums and winning 11 Grammy Awards.

She took a step back from public appearances over the past year as she dealt with health issues, details of which she did not share publicly.

Just days before her death, Parton shared a statement with People saying she was taking time to address health issues she "didn't pay attention to" prior to Dean's death last year.

Parton's last major in-person public appearance was in June, when she made a surprise appearance at the grand opening of a gas station and restaurant called Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop.

Stephen Kalyn is going from the hockey rink to the courtroom.

The Off Campus breakout actor has been cast in The Housemaid's Secret. He will play the role of Brock Cunningham, a lawyer who is in a relationship with Sydney Sweeney's character, Millie Calloway.

Lionsgate announced the casting news in a video shared to Instagram on Monday. The video finds Kalyn reading Freida McFadden’s novel before walking inside a trailer on a film set.

"Welcome home, Brock. Stephen Kalyn joins the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret," the post's caption reads.

The Housemaid's Secret will be based on the second book in the trilogy by McFadden. It is the direct sequel to the 2025 film The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig. This new movie finds Millie taking a job as a housekeeper for a woman she's never allowed to see, who remains behind a locked door. She discovers the truth behind all of this and it threatens to expose secrets darker than her own.

Lionsgate announced plans for a film adaptation of The Housemaid's Secret in January. At the time, the studio announced it would begin production on the film in 2026.

Sweeney and Michele Morrone are set to return to their roles of Millie and Enzo Accardi in the movie. Joining the cast for the sequel are Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Snow and Paul Anthony Kelly.

Feig will also return to direct. Sweeney is set to executive produce while Feig also produces through his Pretty Dangerous Pictures alongside Laura Fischer. Rebecca Sonnenshine will once again adapt McFadden's words for the screen.

At the time the sequel was announced, Feig said, "It’s been thrilling to see audiences around the world fall in love with The Housemaid and the incredible work of our talented cast and crew. We’re lucky that Freida McFadden has already extended Millie’s journey on the page, and that we get to work with Rebecca Sonnenshine and Lionsgate to bring this next story to audiences."

The Housemaid's Secret arrives in theaters on Dec. 17, 2027.

D4vd's legal representation was granted a withdrawal during a hearing on Monday, according to ABC Los Angeles station KABC, as the singer was arraigned on charges alleging he murdered a teenage girl whose decomposed remains were found in the front trunk of his abandoned vehicle last year.

D4vd pleaded not guilty during the hearing, which comes a month after a judge ruled that the singer will stand trial on first-degree murder, sexual abuse of a child and unlawful mutilation of human remains charges in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

He has been appointed a public defender, according to KABC. His next court date was set for Oct. 9

D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, previously pleaded not guilty to the same charges following his arrest in April. He has remained held without bail.

A trial is expected to take place within 90 days of Monday's arraignment.

Prosecutors allege that D4vd and Rivas Hernandez began a sexual relationship in 2023, when he was 18 and she was 13, and that he killed her after she threatened to expose their illegal relationship and ruin his career.

Just as tickets for his world tour were set to go on sale, it is alleged that the "Romantic Homicide" singer ordered an Uber that brought Rivas Hernandez to his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025, prosecutors said. That was the last time she was seen alive, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors allege that D4vd stabbed the teen multiple times, watching her bleed out, and then undertook a series of "ghoulish" steps to dismember her body and get rid of evidence. Her badly decomposed remains were found in two body bags in the front trunk of D4vd's impounded Tesla in September 2025, according to prosecutors.

During a five-day hearing in July, prosecutors presented some of their evidence in the case. They called a dozen witnesses as they set out to establish probable cause that D4vd committed the criminal offenses to move forward with a trial.

"D4vd allegedly squandered his fame and fortune by brutally killing a young girl because he feared their illicit sexual relationship would ruin his aspiring career," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said following the preliminary hearing. "The only headlines that will accompany his stage name from here forward will be about the vicious murder of a young girl."

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced Monday it will not go forward with its exhibit on fashion designer John Galliano, which had been planned to coincide with the 2027 Met Gala.

The exhibition, John Galliano: Horizons, was met with backlash when it was announced in late July because of the fashion designer's history of making antisemitic remarks.

Galliano was fired from his job as creative director of Christian Dior in 2011 and found guilty of antisemitic behavior by a French court later that same year.

In a statement posted on its website, the Metropolitan Museum of Art said the decision to cancel the exhibit, which was scheduled to open next May, was made with Galliano.

The museum also released a statement from the designer, who also previously worked as the head designer of Givenchy and was previously named international designer of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

"After much reflection and discussion with The Met and all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time," Galliano said in a statement shared by The Met. "I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it. I understand that meaningful atonement is not achieved through an exhibition, institutional recognition or a single public gesture. It is a continuing responsibility, demonstrated through listening, learning and one’s conduct over time."

The statement continued, in part, "I do not want the debate surrounding me to place The Met in a difficult position or to distract from the remarkable work of the Costume Institute. I also recognize and respect that an exhibition honoring my work would be painful for some."

After stepping away from fashion for several years, Galliano spent 10 years working as artistic director of the Maison Margiela fashion house, leaving the role in 2024, according to The Associated Press.

The Galliano exhibit was to be held at The Met's Costume Institute. Each spring, the institute's new exhibit is opened by the star-studded Met Gala.

The gala, chaired by Condé Nast chief content officer Anna Wintour, is a major fundraiser for the museum and the Costume Institute in particular.

Wintour said in a statement Monday that she supports the decision to not move forward with the Galliano exhibition.

"John's decision that the exhibition devoted to his work should not take place at this time is very courageous and a measure of the man he is," she said. "I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the Museum have my full support."

A new spring Costume Institute exhibition and more information on the 2027 Met Gala will be announced at a later date, according to the museum.

Melinda French Gates is matching the $10 million raised by Olivia Rodrigo's inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival, bringing the total going to nonprofit organizations supporting women and girls to $20 million.

Rodrigo announced French Gates' matching commitment Saturday during the festival in Irvine, California.

"Daisy Chain Fields is about what can happen when we come together and use our collective power to support one another," Rodrigo said. "I'm incredibly grateful to Melinda and Pivotal for believing in this mission and making the impact of our first festival twice as powerful."

French Gates joined Rodrigo onstage, where she praised the singer and the festival's mission.

"Olivia Rodrigo is a force," French Gates said. "What Daisy Chain Fields sets in motion will last far beyond a single night, by opening up opportunity for women and girls around the world and showing a new generation how much their voices matter. I’m so proud to support Olivia’s vision."

The $20 million will be divided equally among 10 nonprofit organizations: Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.

Rodrigo said the organizations are doing "incredibly important work every single day in the U.S. and globally."

"I'm so grateful to every person who bought a ticket, every artist who waived their fee, every sponsor for signing onto a brand new festival and every donation that helped get to $10 million to support women and girls," she said.

Throughout the event, concertgoers could learn more about the nonprofit partners and their work through Daisy Chain Reaction, an initiative highlighting the causes supported by the festival.

The 2026 event marked the first Daisy Chain Fields Festival, which Rodrigo announced in June.

The festival featured performances from Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill, the Breeders, Garbage, Rachel Chinouriri and others.

Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette, Karen O and Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan also appeared as special guests.

Dolly Parton was laid to rest in a private burial in Nashville on Friday, three days after the country music legend died at age 80.

Parton's niece Lainey Mae Parton shared news of the burial Saturday in an emotional social media post remembering her aunt.

"This is a really hard post for me to make. I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words," she wrote in an Instagram post alongside photos of Parton.

"From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough," she continued. "She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself."

Lainey Mae also reflected on Parton's close relationship with her family.

"Because she couldn't have kids of her own, she always made us feel like we were hers," she wrote. "She loved us that way, and I'll forever be grateful for that."

Parton died on Aug. 25 after "bravely facing a brief battle with cancer," according to her publicist.

Following her burial, tributes to Parton continued Saturday night at the Grand Ole Opry, which dedicated its Aug. 29 show to the longtime Opry member and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee.

A portion of ticket proceeds from the show will be donated to Parton's Imagination Library, the childhood literacy program she founded.

Parton's niece Jada Star spoke on behalf of the family and performed "The Orchard" during the tribute.

Carly Pearce, who began her career performing at Dollywood as a teenager and was invited by Parton to join the Opry in 2021, performed "Those Memories of You." Kathy Mattea dedicated a performance of "Jolene" to Parton's memory.

The performers later gathered onstage for "9 to 5," with Opry member Jelly Roll making a surprise appearance. The night concluded with the artists and backstage guests watching a video of Parton performing "I Will Always Love You" at the Opry.

The tributes come as Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport have announced their intent to name the airport in Parton's honor.

Lee said the move would create "a lasting tribute to her indelible legacy and the generations of people she inspired across Tennessee and around the world."

The world of Manifest is expanding.

Netflix has announced a new sci-fi series, Arrivals: A New Manifest Mystery, from the same creative team behind the original series. The show will feature a new cast of characters and new storylines.

“I’m delighted to be able to tell a new story for the Manifest fans out there and also for a brand-new audience,” says creator Jeff Rake. “It’s been five long years since we showed up on Netflix, and there’s probably half a generation who has never heard of Manifest. We’ve tried to thread the needle in a way that’s rewarding for the OG Manifest fans, but also equally rewarding for people who are brand new to the show.”

Manifest originally debuted on NBC in 2018 before moving to Netflix for its fourth and final season, where it found renewed success with audiences. The show follows the passengers and crew of Flight 828 who mysteriously reappear years after going missing and being presumed dead. It starred Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh and Athena Karkanis.

The announcement for the new series came on 8/28 — which fans celebrate as Manifest Day in honor of the show’s core mystery of Flight 828.

Your next look at the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has arrived.

Publisher Rockstar Games debuted an extended look at the sixth numbered entry in the massively popular video game franchise on Thursday.

The showcase, which runs for just short of 27 minutes and is available on Rockstar's YouTube channel, gives us our first look at the sprawling action-adventure game's narrative, gameplay and mechanics.

Each Grand Theft Auto game takes place in different heavily hyperbolic versions of American cities, and focuses on main characters working their way through the city's world of crime.

Grand Theft Auto VI will take place in Leonida and Vice City, USA, which appears to be a dramatized version of Miami, Florida.

"Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," a brief synopsis of the game reads. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida -- forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

Grand Theft Auto VI, which is available to preorder now, will officially release Thursday, Nov. 19, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Rockstar.

The new release follows more than a decade of anticipation since the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V, which has sold 230 million copies, according to franchise owner Take-Two Interactive.

The series started on the original PlayStation and PC in 1997, when it generated controversy due to its violence. In 2001, Grand Theft Auto 3 came to PlayStation 2. It brought the series into 3D and once again caused controversy with violence and sexual content.

In total, the franchise has sold 475 million copies, Take-Two noted.

Former Bachelor in Paradise star Joe Amabile is opening up after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor.

The reality star and podcast host, 40, spoke with Good Morning America to share an update three weeks after his surgery about what lies ahead for him, including taking daily medication and waiting for his speech to return.

"I still struggle a little bit," Amabile said about his difficulties with speech after the surgery. "I could think of what to say, but I would have a hard time vocalizing it. And I would say I'm about 90% back."

Amabile said he first learned about the tumor in July after doing an elective full-body MRI screening. He talked about it in an Instagram post, revealing that he'd need to have surgery to remove the "blueberry-sized lesion" in his left frontal lobe.

"According to my doctor, I wouldn't probably know about this until I eventually had a seizure," Amabile said in an interview that aired Friday on GMA.

Amabile's doctor, Dr. Alexandra Miller, chief of neuro-oncology at the Perlmutter Cancer Center, told GMA that follow-up scans at NYU Medical Center pointed toward a tumor called an astrocytoma.

Miller said the tumor has a "good prognosis," adding, "It was a really good thing and very lucky that he was able to find it early."

According to the National Cancer Institute, astrocytoma is a type of glioma, or tumor, that forms in star-shaped cells called astrocytes in the brain and spinal cord.

Astrocytomas may be benign or malignant and are grouped based on their grade, which is determined by how abnormal the tumor cells look under a microscope and how quickly the tumor is likely to grow, spread and come back after treatment, according to the NCI.

Low-grade astrocytomas are more common in children, while high-grade astrocytomas, such as glioblastoma, tend to grow and spread within the brain and spinal cord quickly and are more common in adults.

The NCI says treatment for astrocytoma in addition to surgery includes observation, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy.

The reality star went in for surgery in early August and the procedure was successful. Amabile said he's also taking daily medication to keep the tumor at bay.

After spending four days in the hospital and more time recovering at home, Amabile said that he was able to get back to his routines, including taking a run just 15 days after his surgery, which he documented on Instagram.

Following the surgery, Amabile said sharing his experience with others, including documenting his experience on social media, has been "super important."

"I think being able to share so other people can relate, and people who are going through it, I think is, it's super important," Amabile said.

By his side through all of it has been his wife, Serena Pitt, whom he met on Bachelor in Paradise.

"Unexpected challenges are going to be thrown your way and I feel like it has made me feel very grateful for the partner that I chose," Pitt told GMA.

For Jacob Elordi, working on The Dog Stars wasn't simply a starring role in Ridley Scott's latest film. It was also an opportunity to learn alongside a performer he's admired for years.

The actor plays Hig, a young pilot who survives in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. He joins forces with military survivalist Bangley, who is played by Josh Brolin. The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling book of the same name and also features Margaret Qualley, Allison Janney, Benedict Wong and Guy Pearce.

Elordi told ABC News that Brolin "has been someone that I've looked up to as an actor forever. He's just one of the greats, you know?"

In a moment Elordi described as "sentimental," he opened up about a memory he shared on set with Brolin. The pair were hanging out in a hangar Scott had built for Elordi's character, Hig. While relaxing on a leather couch, the pair just sat "there, looking at the Dolomite Mountains, talking about acting. Waxing poetic on it" even, Elordi said.

The moment "meant so much" to Elordi. It was more than just a passing conversation between takes.

"To be taken in and embraced by somebody that you've studied and admired for so long. That was really, really special to me," Elordi said. "He's totally free when he acts, and that's something that I took from him. He bears himself the second he gets to set and shows everyone exactly who he is, and then he can do what he does. He's a master."

Brolin said he relied heavily on Elordi.

"I was kind of under prepped because I had just come from another movie and I relied on Jacob, who's a 28- year-old, at least in my mind, newbie," Brolin said. "He was so available and he was willing, and I think he respects ... the kind of old-school mentality so much."

In Brolin's eyes, Elordi "is a kid that's the real deal."

"Personally and professionally, we both leaned on each other very much," Brolin said.

The Dog Stars arrives in theaters on Friday.

Dolly Parton's sister Stella Parton is remembering the late singer's generosity — including a decision she made near the end of her life in hopes of helping others.

In a moving tribute shared on Facebook, Stella Parton revealed that the 9 to 5 singer, who died at 80 this week after a brief battle with cancer, told her that even if there was no hope for her, she would allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope that the treatment could help others in the future.

"My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I've ever known," she wrote, adding that she was always thinking of others "and if you want to honor her legacy, show more kindness, lift others up and give more of your time and resources as she continued to do to the very end."

Stella Parton also reflected on the close relationship she shared with her big sister, including their weekly tradition of waking up early and having coffee together over the phone.

"Being little farm girls we’ve continued to be early risers," she wrote. "As she liked to say; 'shoot Tedda we get more work done before the sun comes up than most folks do all day long!' We would catch up on gossip, as sisters do, and drink coffee and make plans as it has always been our way."

Stella Parton also shared how her sister's outlook shaped their conversations, recalling how her sister would laugh off her complaints about other people.

"Dolly loved the world and everyone in it," she wrote. "I would criticize and complain about it and she would laugh and say; 'shoot Tedda, we’ve got more important things to do than worry about their silly a****.'"

She added, "She was right and proved it everyday."

Stella Parton thanked everyone who has shown love and respect to her sister and their family following her sister's death.

"My Tuesday morning coffee time will never be the same, but her love, respect and goodness will remain," she added.

She also ended her message with a call for others to carry on her sister's example, writing, "She left the world a better place by being in it, so let’s follow her example. Love and respect to all of you."

Stella Parton was one of Dolly Parton's 11 siblings.

According to People, the late singer's siblings also include Willadeene, David, Coy, Robert Jr., Cassie, Larry, Floyd, twins Freidda and Rachel, and Randy, a singer-songwriter, who died from cancer in 2021. Her brother Coy also died in July 2026 at the age of 82, according to an obituary from Atchley Funeral Home.

"It was crowded!" Dolly Parton told The Guardian in 2016. "With that many brothers and sisters there was plenty of teasing and fighting, but we were all in it together."

Following her death, many around the world have mourned her. Across Hollywood, Nashville and beyond, many have shared memories with her and why she meant so much to them.

Peter Cullen, a voice actor who starred as Optimus Prime in Transformers and as Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, has died at the age of 85.

Cullen died on Wednesday at his Los Angeles home, his agent, Kevin Motley, confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.

No cause of death was given.

"Peter Cullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family -- and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide," the family said in a statement. "His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember 'be strong enough to be gentle.'"

Cullen had more than 200 acting credits over his decadeslong career. In addition to his roles in several Transformers and Winnie the Pooh movies and shows, he voiced characters in Knight Rider and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and provided vocal effects for the 1987 film Predator, according to IMDb.

He was also the announcer on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour in the 1970s, which gave him his break into acting.

In a 2014 interview with NPR, the Canadian-born Cullen said he first learned he had a talent for voices when he was a child, living and working on a farm.

"One of the greatest memories I have is, I had a full dairy barn where I would collect milk pails with my brother, Larry," Cullen said. "I found one day that I made a loud noise and all the cows looked up to me. ... And I walked down the center of that aisle with these cows looking at me and I said, 'This is fantastic.' I must have been 8 years old ... and I was the king of the cows."

Cullen said that his second favorite role after Optimus Prime was voicing an animal, gloomy donkey Eeyore, in Winnie the Pooh.

"I enjoyed doing Eeyore because he was simply charming," Cullen told NPR. "And I get an awful lot of reactions from, especially, young kids, when I go up and just say [in Eeyore's voice], 'Hello. Thanks for noticing me.'"

He continued, "And to see their faces light up, that to me is one of the great joys."

Cullen's gift of impersonations grew from animals to humans, which he said in a 2023 interview launched him into a career in comedy, first in Canada and then in Los Angeles.

When asked for his advice for young people, Cullen said to find something that you're good at, or something that you want to do, and stick with it.

"No matter what it is, it's like working a muscle, the more you work it, the bigger it gets," he said. "And, if you do something you love, that's what I tell kids, if you find something you love to do, do it, stick with it, and you'll never work a day in your life. You love it, it's just a holiday."

The film opened in theaters in June and is still in theaters, as well as now being available for purchase on digital.

In order to celebrate the occasion, Taylor Swift, whose single “I Knew It, I Knew You” headlines the soundtrack, shared a first-look sneak peek at the animated new music video for her piano version of the song.

An earlier music video for the new song, featuring the Toy Story 5 characters, was released in June.

In an interview aired on Good Morning America earlier this summer, the Grammy-winning singer said an early screening of the film sparked the idea for the track, which was inspired by Jessie, the beloved cowgirl first introduced in 1999's Toy Story 2.

"We've seen her have her heart broken. Like, we've watched, you know, the car pull away," Swift said. "I get really emotional talking about this."

The full video is available on Disney+, Spotify and Apple Music, ahead of the film's release to streaming next month.

A federal judge in New York on Wednesday ordered Justin Baldoni and the studio behind It Ends With Us to pay Blake Lively nearly $400,000 in attorneys' fees.

The decision comes after Lively requested a reimbursement of $7.5 million, which the judge said was "unreasonable."

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman instead ordered Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, to pay Lively just over $363,000 in attorneys' fees and $44,000 in costs.

Liman cited in his ruling a California state law designed to protect sexual harassment accusers from retaliation, but said that law only applies to Lively’s attorneys’ fees for defamation claims.

Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, responded to the ruling on Wednesday, saying the ruling "speaks for itself."

"Judge Liman clearly considered the ‘outrageous and unreasonable’ $8 million plus demand and, in rejecting it, awarded only 5% of the amount sought in legal fees and costs," Freedman said in a statement. "The ruling is a significant victory for my clients and sends a clear message that, no matter how powerful you may be, the courtroom is not a place to take advantage of the law for your own personal gain.”

ABC News has reached out to a representative for Lively.

The ruling comes over one year after Liman dismissed Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, the couple's publicist, Leslie Sloane, as well as Baldoni's defamation claim against The New York Times.

Lively and Baldoni, who starred together in It Ends With Us, have been embroiled in a legal battle since December 2024, when Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of the film, which he also directed.

Lively also accused Baldoni and his production company of attempting to orchestrate a smear campaign against her, allegations Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios have vehemently denied.

Baldoni's lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by Liman in June 2025. The judge later gutted much of Lively's case against Baldoni in April of this year, including claims she was subjected to sexual harassment on set, determining that she could continue to pursue her claims of retaliation against Baldoni's public relations team.

Baldoni, via his Wayfarer production company, and Lively agreed to settle their ongoing dispute in May this year. Liman ruled at the time that Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios must pay Lively's attorneys' fees but denied Lively's claim for punitive damages.
