Blake Lively is vehemently denying explosive allegations that she pressured Taylor Swift to publicly support her amid an escalating feud with Justin Baldoni. In a fiery court filing on May 14th, Baldoni’s attorney, Brian Friedman, claimed that Lively’s legal team threatened Swift with the release of personal texts if she did not comply. Lively’s representatives swiftly responded, branding the accusations as “categorically false” and “cowardly sourced” from anonymous claims that are “untethered from reality.”
The legal drama intensified as Friedman accused Lively of coercing Swift to issue a statement of support, linking the demand to ongoing litigation surrounding the film “It Ends With Us.” He asserted that Swift’s involvement in a meeting at Lively’s home about the film’s rooftop scene was evidence of her potential witness status, labeling the situation as intimidation. However, Swift’s camp has made it clear that she had no role in the film, stating she never visited the set and was globetrotting on her highly successful tour during the movie’s production.
Lively’s team has demanded that the allegations be dismissed, asserting that this subpoena is merely a tactic to generate media frenzy. With tensions running high and the stakes even higher, the public is left to wonder how this legal battle will unfold. As it stands, both parties are gearing up for an intense showdown in court, with Lively and Swift’s reputations hanging in the balance. E! News has reached out for further comment from Baldoni’s legal team but has yet to receive a response. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
