Blake Lively is attempting to withdraw her claims of intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress against Justin Baldoni. Baldoni's legal team sought access to Lively's medical records as part of their defense. Lively's lawyers called the filing a 'press stunt,' stating they are streamlining the case, which also includes claims of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni's team wants the withdrawal to be 'with prejudice,' preventing refiling, while Lively wants it 'without prejudice.' The court will decide whether to compel Lively to release her medical records or dismiss the claims.
