Justin Baldoni Accuses Blake Lively’s Lawyers of Extorting Taylor Swift

by

In this account, Taylor Swift finds herself continually involved in the ongoing case between Justin Baldoni, director of “It Ends With Us,” and Blake Lively, her former best friend. On Friday, Baldoni’s legal team served a subpoena to Swift as part of Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively. Now, it is being alleged by Baldoni’s lawyers that Lively’s legal team attempted to blackmail Swift for support by threatening to disclose private and personal text messages if Swift did not publicly endorse Lively. On Wednesday, a letter was filed in court by Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman, who is seeking any messages between Gottlieb (Lively’s lawyer) and Swift’s legal team that could confirm these claims.

In simpler terms, Gottlieb labeled the story as “completely baseless,” “disgraceful,” and detached from truth. His response also criticized Freedman. He stated that this kind of behavior is typical of the lawyers associated with the Wayfarer parties, who seem to derive pleasure in making accusations without evidence, disregarding the people they negatively impact in the process. This statement was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I find myself in the midst of an unusual predicament. Following a film scene alteration, I’ve been accused of extortion. My team claims that Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively’s husband, and Taylor Swift allegedly coerced me into accepting revisions on a rooftop sequence for our movie. They even suggest that in a private text, I referred to them as “dragons,” a reference to the character Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. Venable, Taylor Swift’s legal team, has contested the subpoena. They argue that neither they nor their client possess any relevant information and that this entire scenario is merely an attempt to divert attention away from the real facts of the case.
