Blake Lively Withdraws Emotional Distress Claims Against Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively has filed to dismiss her emotional distress claims against ‘It Ends With Us’ co-star and director Justin Baldoni. The actress, 37, sought to withdraw her allegations of intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, which she initially brought in a lawsuit against Baldoni and the film’s producer. Lively’s legal team stated that the move is part of the litigation process to focus on her remaining claims, including allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. The legal team also emphasized that Lively intends to continue pursuing other claims against Baldoni, including those related to the film’s production and the allegations of sexual harassment. In response, Baldoni’s legal team criticized the move, calling it a press stunt and a distraction from the ongoing legal battle. The case is set for trial in New York in March 2026.
