The name of Taylor Swiftindisputable icon of pop music, has been involved in a controversy that involves the actress Blake Lively and to the director Justin Baldoni. It all started with a demand for sexual harassment filed by Lively against Baldoni in December 2024, following the filming of the film “It ends with us”.
One of the most surprising edges of this legal conflict was the citation to be declared as Swift by Baldoni’s legal team. According to reports The Daily Mailthis citation, subsequently withdrawn on May 22, generated a deep crisis in ten -year friendship between Swift and Lively.
Sources close to both parties ensure that Lively would have tried, without success, contact Swift through “text messages, emails and even voice calls, supplicating repair their friendship“. It is said that these attempts were ignored by Swift, who would feel”betrayed and exploited“By Lively. The reason for this break would lie in Swift’s implications in a Baldoni contrademanda for $ 400 million, in which conversations between Lively and Swift were mentioned where Lively referred to the singer and Ryan Reynolds Like his “dragons”, claiming that Swift had been present at a crucial meeting between Lively and Baldoni.
Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman came to affirm that Lively’s lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, threatened to publish swift text messages if the singer did not publicly support Lively. These accusations were denied by Gottlieb, and the judge dismissed Freedman’s statements for considering them “improper and irrelevant.”
Meanwhile, the relationship between Lively and Baldoni continues its judicial course, with a trial scheduled for March 2026, and with a new plot turn: Baldoni’s defense seeks to access Lively medical records related to allegations of emotional damage. The final decision on the delivery of this information is in the hands of Judge Lew J. Liman.
