The ongoing legal dispute between "It Ends With Us" co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni escalated Tuesday over Lively's decision to withdraw claims of emotional distress from her lawsuit.

Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni has taken a sharp turn, as a federal judge has now ruled that she cannot move forward with her emotional distress claims. The decision follows a back-and-forth between both parties over Lively’s refusal to release medical records.

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.
