Blake Lively abandoned claims related to the infliction of emotional distress against Justin Baldoni.
In her new legal files, Lively asked on Tuesday to withdraw and reject her allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
This decision comes in response to a letter submitted by Baldoni’s letter, Kevin Fritz, requesting judge Lewis J. Liman in the American district court in the South District of New York for “an order forcing Blake to identify his medical and mental health care providers”.
The prescription would force to sign a HIPAA version to access therapy notes and relevant medical information.
Lively refuses to “disclose the information and documents necessary to refute that it has undergone emotional distress” and seeks to “maintain the right to reassemble it [infliction of emotional distress claims] At an unknown time in this court or in another court after closing the discovery window, “read his file.
“Ms. Lively cannot have it in both directions,” said her legal team in the document.
Lawyers from Lively Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb also addressed the recent decision in a statement.
“Once again, it is a common part of the litigation process which is used as a press cascade. We do what the lawyers for the test do: prepare our case for the trial by rationalizing and concentrating it; they do what they do: in desperately research of another tabloid -tired round,” said lawyers to People magazine.
The actress “continues to allege emotional distress, as part of many other complaints in her trial, such as sexual harassment and reprisals, and massive compensatory damage to all her complaints”.
Both cases in Lively c. Wayfarer Studios et al. are planned for the trial in March 2026.
Baldoni faces allegations of sexual harassment, a “non -professional” behavior on the set and the launch of a campaign of reprisal smear. Meanwhile, Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their advertising team are counterattack for defamation and extortion.
