It Ends With Us star Blake Lively is reportedly seeking to withdraw her claim that actor and director Justin Baldoni intentionally inflicted emotional distress during the production of the film.
The decision follows attempts by Baldoni’s legal team to access Lively’s medical records, including therapy notes.
Lively's lawyers called Baldoni's filing a "press stunt," stating they are streamlining the case while continuing to allege emotional distress as part of other claims like sexual harassment and retaliation.
Lively filed her suit against Baldoni in January, accusing him of sexual harassment and a smear campaign.
Baldoni has filed a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of trying to destroy his career.
