In the middle of a legal battle between Blake Lively and the actor Justin Baldonia name echoed strongly: Taylor Swift. Initially, a judicial citation threatened to involve the singer in the conflict, but the panorama turned a turn.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedmansent a citation to Swift in early May. The reason? Information about the artist’s knowledge about the dispute between Lively and Baldoni was sought, which began with a demand of 400 million dollars from Baldoni against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The demand alleged sexual harassment and the creation of a toxic work environment in the filming of the film “It ends with us“
The response of the Swift team was overwhelming, denying any significant participation in the conflict. “Taylor Swift was never on the set, he did not participate in creative or casting decisions, he did not see the film until weeks after its premiere and was worldwide for 2023 and 2024,” He declared his representative. It was stressed that the only swift connection with the movie was the use of his song “My Tears Ricochet”.
But the story goes further. Legal documents revealed that Lively allegedly threatened to filter Swift private messages to force her to take sides publicly. This revelation added a new chapter to the saga.
Surprisingly, Swift citation was withdrawn. A source close to the case states that: “Taylor’s response, along with documented evidence, provided Baldoni everything he needed. Swift’s lack of involvement shows that Blake lied about crucial details.” The information obtained, according to the source, also exposes the threats of filtration of private messages by Lively’s lawyers.
Lively’s representative’s statement Deadline He expressed satisfaction with the withdrawal of the citation, affirming his support for Swift and condemning the “harassment” suffered. Meanwhile, cross accusations between Lively and Baldoni continue to intensify, with Lively denouncing intimidation and Baldoni tactics counteracting with accusations of defamation.
The friendship between Lively and Swift, consolidated since 2015, seems to have suffered a setback following this case. Sources close to the singer indicate that Swift is taking distance from Lively, considering that it was used as “intimidation tactics.” The incident has exposed a complex network of personal and professional relationships within the film industry, with consequences that are yet to be seen.
