The Lively-Baldoni legal mess just hit a questionable affair after Blake Lively requested to withdraw a massive claim against the ‘It Ends With Us’ actor in court. The 37-year-old asked to withdraw and dismiss her claims of intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
What did Justin Baldoni ask in response to her original claims?
According to People magazine, Justin Baldoni filed a letter to address the judge in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, where he requested an order for Blake Lively to identify her medical and mental health care providers.
How did Blake Lively respond?
Lively would have to sign a HIPAA release so that Baldoni could get access to therapy notes and relevant medical care information. However, the tables turned faster than the wind, and she not only asked for withdrawal of the claims, but she demanded to withdraw the claims of emotional distress without prejudice instead of complying to Baldoni’s requests.
‘Without prejudice’ suggests that Blake Lively refuses to “disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress” as well as maintain the right to refile her claims at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed. In the document filed by Baldoni, he specifically mentioned that Ms. Lively cannot have it both ways.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ alum’s lawyers stated to People magazine that Justin Baldoni is “desperately seeking another tired round of tabloid coverage,” and Lively’s lawyers are tying to streamline the focus of the case.
From the original filings...
The point to be noted is that Blake Lively continues to allege emotional distress in other claims, such as sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, along with massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims.
In the original filings by Lively, she claimed that Baldoni’s behaviour during and after the shoot of the film ‘It Ends with Us’ extremely affected not only her, but also her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their four children.
