Blake Lively Forces Taylor Swift to Publicly Support Her in Fight Against Justin Baldoni
Los Angeles, CA - In a stunning twist, actress Blake Lively has pushed her longtime friend and fellow musician Taylor Swift to publicly support her in her fight against film director Justin Baldoni. The latest development comes after a subpoena was directed towards Swift's attorneys at the law firm Venable.
According to court documents, Blake's lead attorney Michael Gottlieb allegedly pressured Taylor's agency to urge her to release a statement of support for Lively. The filing claims that Gottlieb "demanded" that Swift publicly demonstrate her support, threatening to release private text messages between the two actresses if she refused.
However, Lively's attorneys have vehemently denied these allegations, calling them "categorically false". Esra Hudson, Blake's lawyer, stated in a court filing that Baldoni's team's "letter contains baseless, unnecessary, improper and abusive" claims without any evidentiary support. Hudson also claimed that the letter falsely accuses Lively of engaging in "witness tampering and evidence spoliation".
Swift's team has denied all allegations related to her involvement in the impending legal proceedings surrounding It Ends With Us. In a statement, Swift's representative said she was never involved in the film's casting or creative decisions, had no contact with director Justin Baldoni, and did not see any edits of the film until it was publicly released.
Meanwhile, Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds have filed a motion to quash Baldoni's subpoena directed towards Swift's attorneys. The motion claims that the subpoena is "entirely without merit" and seeks to dismiss the allegations against Lively.
As the drama continues to unfold, Blake Lively's efforts to secure public support for herself in this high-stakes battle have sparked widespread attention. With no clear end in sight, fans of both actresses can only wait and watch as this saga unfolds further.
