The solid friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, which dates back to 2014, It seems to be going through a difficult time due to the legal litigation that Lively face against its co -star and director of ‘It Ends With Us’, Justin Baldoni. According to statements from sources close to both stars, Obtained by People, the tension generated by the case would have led to distancing between them.
In December 2024, Lively demanded Baldoni for sexual harassment and reprisals, accusations he denies. The actor responded with a contrademanda of 400 million dollars, accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of extortion and defamation.
