Taylor Swift Blackmailed? Blake Lively’s Lawyer Decries “Scandalous” Claims By Justin Baldoni’s Team


Taylor Swift has become a central figure in the battle between Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni & the former's lawyer says the latter's lawyer is full of BS

In a shocking letter today to the federal judge overseeing the $400 million and more lawsuits between the IEWU stars, Ryan Reynolds, the New York Times, various PR firms, and Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios, the Jane the Virgin alum’s main lawyer accuses Lively of threatening to shame her ‘Fortnight’ pal unless Swift publicly offer strong support. Managing to directly stay out the Lively-Baldoni fray (though not the tabloids’ speculations of the state of Lively-Swift friendship) until recently, the controversy adverse Swift was quick to slap down the subpoena Baldoni’s team served on her at the beginning of this month. “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,” the Eras Tour performer’s spokesperson told Deadline on May 9.
