Justin Baldoni's team seemingly tried to pressure Blake Lively into dropping emotional distress claims [Updated]

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal squabble over her claims of emotional distress hit a roadblock Tuesday when a federal judge refused to let Lively dismiss them on her preferred terms, instead telling both sides to reach an agreement.

Blake Lively is no longer pursuing claims for emotional distress in her lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. The move comes after the judge overseeing the case on Tuesday turned down the actress’ bid to refile the claim at a later stage if she chooses to abandon them.
