Hey folks, we have bombshell updates regarding Blake lively versus Justin Baldoni. The case has settled. It will not be going to trial. Hey folks, Dave Neal here with an episode of the rush hour podcast. I need to let you all know I already had shot and recorded today's episode right before this news came out. This is Vacation Dave. That's right. I'm here in my linens,

as you guys know when traveling through the salty aired Caribbean Sea. I like to be in 100% linen.

So I'm going to share the It Ends with a Settlement story that is going across the world.

Now again, like I said, this story broke after recording today's episode. I'm still going to

Lively also said Baldoni's production company retaliated against her after she complained about the alleged misconduct on the set of the film. Baldoni repeatedly denied live lease claims.

So here's where we are today. retaliated against her after she complained about the alleged misconduct on the set of the film.

Baldoni repeatedly denied Lively's claims.

Now, again, just several weeks before we were going to head to New York, of course,
