Blake Lively Threatened to Leak Texts with Taylor Swift, Claim Justin Baldoni's Lawyers

Justin Baldoni's lawyers claim a source informed them that Blake Lively allegedly pressured best friend Taylor Swift to publicly support her in the legal battle or else she'd leak their private texts. Baldoni's team says their subpoena seeks to obtain those supposed communications.

Justin Baldoni's attorneys brought forth a bombshell claim in a new court filing, alleging that Blake Lively threatened best friend Taylor Swift to publicly support her in her It Ends With Us legal battle. Freedman alleges that they were also informed that Swift's lawyer responded to Lively's attorney and "addressed these inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats...." He adds, "It is those communications that the Wayfarer Parties seek to obtain" as potential evidence of "an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation." "Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case."
