Blake Lively Drops Claims Against Justin Baldoni of Infliction of Emotional Distress https://t.co/PphLWVZngh

After requesting that Lively produce relevant medical information, Baldoni’s legal team filed a letter to court asserting that they’re entitled to a dismissal of those claims with prejudice so they won’t be re-filed
“We are doing what trial lawyers do: preparing our case for trial by streamlining and focusing it,” Lively’s lawyers said of the move.
The document adds that “instead of complying,” Lively requested to withdraw claims of emotional distress without prejudice.
Doing so, it alleges, means that Lively refuses “to disclose the information and documents needed to disprove that she suffered any emotional distress” and seeks to “maintain the right to re-file her [infliction of emotional distress claims] at an unknown time in this or some other court after the discovery window has closed… Ms. Lively cannot have it both ways.”
