Blake Lively Drops Emotional Distress Claim in Baldoni Lawsuit

Quote: “Blake has withdrawn her emotional distress claims because Justin wanted access to her therapy records to see if she was really that distraught, as she claimed in her lawsuit,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“So, she clearly placed that at as an issue, made it fair game, he wanted to see the records. In response, she dropped the claim…She was saying that all these things that allegedly happened to her made her extremely distraught, and, sure, she wants to keep that stuff private, but she can’t also sue for damages in court while doing so,”  explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm.
