Here are some other interesting points about the dismissal of the defamation and extortion claims:
Judge Lewis J Limon dismissed Baldoni's suit alleging defamation and extortion on the basis that all her allegations were made within privileged court papers.
The judge also ruled: "The Times reviewed the available evidence and reported, perhaps in a dramatized manner, what it believed to have happened. The Times had no obvious motive to favor Lively's version of events".
