Some of the tossed claims, including the ones involving sexual harassment, were nixed due to legal technicalities, such as Lively being considered an independent contractor rather than an employee. The remaining three claims — retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation, and breach of contract — were not against Baldoni personally.
