Justin Baldoni’s lawyers filed a shocking complaint in a new judicial file, claiming that Blake Lively threatened his best friend Taylor Swift to publicly support her in his legal battle for “IT Ends With Us”. A Lively lawyer describes the accusation of “categorically false.”
After the rejection of Lively and Ryan Reynolds to a citation issued to Venable, the law firm that represents Swift, Baldoni’s lawyers responded in a letter to the judge on Wednesday, May 14, arguing why they believe that the citation is necessary in this case.
“The insistence of the defendants Lively in which the citation seeks irrelevant information is wrong,” writes Bryan Freedman in the letter.
Freedman claims to have received a notice of a “source that probably has reliable information,” according to the letter. This anonymous source claimed that Lively asked Swift to delete text messages.
Another accusation included in the letter suggests that Lively’s lawyer contacted Swift “and demanded that Mrs. Swift publish a declaration of support for Mrs. Lively”, as well as “hinted that if Mrs. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of personal nature in possession of Mrs. Lively would be published.”
