Blake Lively will get $400,000 in legal fees from Justin Baldoni over their bitter legal war - far less than the $8 million she demanded, the Daily Mail can reveal.
In a final humiliation for the actress, a judge in New York ruled Wednesday that she will get just five percent of the amount she was seeking for defending herself against Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit.
Lively, 38, agreed to settle her case against Baldoni, 42, in May this year after a judge in New York dismissed most of her claims.
Judge Lewis Liman had previously dismissed Baldoni's $400 million defamation countersuit against Lively, but he did allow her to seek legal fees solely related to defending that action.
Last month, Lively revealed in court filings just how much she was demanding: $4,544,094 from Wilkie, Farr & Gallagher and $2,951,432 from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, two high-profile law firms.
However, the final bill will be $300,000 higher because of costs related to a recent hearing on June 1st, bringing it to $8.3 million.
