They accuse Blake Lively to press Taylor Swift in legal case against Justin Baldoni

The legal conflict between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, related to the film It ends with ushas taken an unexpected turn, after Baldoni’s lawyers submitted new accusations that involve singer Taylor Swift.

According to legal documents revealed this May 14, Lively would have tried to press his friend Swift to defend her publicly in the middle of the case.

According to the letter presented by lawyer Bryan Freedman before the judge, an anonymous source said Blake Lively would have asked Swift to delete personal text messages and publish a statement in his support. The same source indicated that it was insinuated that, if Swift refused, compromising private messages would be filtered. These accusations seek to support the citation previously sent to the legal team of Swift, which was rejected by the representatives of Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds.

In response, Blake Lively’s lawyers offered an interview with the magazine Peoplewhere the accusations flatly denied and assured that it is a strategy without foundations:

“This is categorically false. We flatly denied all these supposed accusations, which are cowardly based on anonymous sources and are completely disconnected from reality.”they declared.

They also pointed out that Baldoni’s legal representatives are acting irresponsibly when presenting statements without evidence, and announced that they will take legal actions against them for professional misconduct.

For his part, Taylor Swift, through his spokesman, completely demolished the conflict and demanded not to be involved. The singer clarified that she did not participate in the development of It ends with usnor in creative decisions, production or casting.

“Taylor Swift was never on the set, he did not compose music for the movie, he didn’t even see her until weeks after her premiere”explained his representative, who stressed that throughout the process the artist was concentrated in her international tour The Eras Tour.

The only connection between Swift and the movie was permission to use its song My Tears Ricochet In the soundtrack.

This new episode adds tension to an already controversial case around the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book. While the legal dispute between Lively and Baldoni continues, the controversy threatens to splash other figures of the show, although some, such as Swift, have already made it clear that they have no intention of participating in the drama.
