Taylor Swift threatened by her friend Blake Lively?: What did the actress’s lawyers say
The protagonists of the movie “Break the circle” (It ends with us) Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively They are in an intense and brutal legal battle. The actress decided to sue the director and co -star of the film for sexual harassment, while Baldoni responded with a countercamanda, demanding 400 million dollars for defamation and extortion.
This is how the team of Actor lawyers decided to quote Taylor Swift, who is the intimate friend of Livelyto declare as a witness. The citation from the beginning seemed strange, since the singer was not part of the filming of the film where the alleged harassment occurred.
Baldoni’s legal dams did not stop there, but sent a letter to the court where they ensure that a “Source with high chances of being reliable” assured them that Blake would be extorting her friend to show her her support publicly.
This anonymous source claimed that Lively asked Swift to will erase text messages. The letter also suggests that the actress’s lawyer contacted Taylor’s lawyer “and demanded that he publish a declaration of support for Mrs. Lively,” in addition to “I suggest that if Swift refused to do so, the personal text messages of a personal nature that he possessed would be published.”

For its part, Taylor’s team declared that the citation makes no sense since the singer was not present in the film recording. «Taylor Swift He was never on the filming set of this film, He did not participate in the casting or in the creative decisions, he did not compose the soundtrack, he never saw any edition or took notes on the film. He didn’t even see “it ends with us” until weeks after its premiere, And he was traveling all over the world for 2023 and 2024 leading the biggest tour in history, ”said his representative.
«Taylor’s connection with this movie was to allow the use of a song, ‘My Tears Ricochet’. His participation was only the license of a song for the movie, something also made another 19 artists. This citation is designed to use Taylor’s name and attract the attention of the public creating sensationalist click, instead of focusing on the facts of the case«, Concludes the Swift manager statement.
