Despite settling her contentious legal battle with Justin Baldoni just hours before she dramatically ascended the stairs at the Met Gala last month — with an army of minions to fluff her 13-foot Versace train for the cameras — the actress is still battling over damages.

Also at stake: the victimhood status she so desperately craves.
