Justin Baldoni has missed a deadline to appeal his lawsuits against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times

Justin Baldoni has missed a deadline to appeal his lawsuits against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times.

The 41-year-old actor-and-director and his production company Wayfarer Studios had filed a countersuit against the couple for $400 million and the newspaper for $250 million after alleging he had been defamed in an article by the outlet about drama on the It Ends With Us movie set, which he claimed was part of a smear campaign against him, but a judge previously dismissed the lawsuits back in June.

And according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the final judgement on the case has just been entered and all of Justin's claims have been thrown out of court because he has let the deadline for launching an appeal pass without making a fresh bid.

The judge had dismissed Justin's claim after noting Blake had included her own allegations of her co-star causing her "severe emotional distress" and instigating a smear campaign against her had been included in a civil rights case and therefore she couldn't be held liable for them, while the New York Times' reporting was based on the legal complaint.

Justin had argued the newspaper had selected certain emails and texts to make him look bad but the court ruled their reporting had closely tracked the former Gossip Girl's version of events.

And while Justin accused Ryan of falsely branding him a "sexual predator", the judge also found the statement consistent with Blake's allegations and her husband had no reason to believe them to be untrue, so the comment couldn't be part of a defamation claim.
