Blake Lively co-starred with director Justin Baldoni in It Ends With Us, which was released last summer
The actress Blake Lively has attempted to withdraw two of the claims she made about director Justin Baldoni.
Both have been engaged in a legal dispute since Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024 after they worked together on the film It Ends With Us, accusing him of sexual harassment and a smear campaign.
Baldoni’s legal team asked Lively to release her medical records, including therapy notes, as part of its defence against her claims she suffered “severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment”, Variety said.
Lively is trying to drop claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress, the publication added.The court will decide if it will dismiss the claims or compel Lively to hand over information related to her mental health.
Variety approached Baldoni’s lawyers, who have declined comment.
The BBC has also approached both parties for comment.
