00:00Blake Lively was going to leak Taylor Swift's text messages if she didn't support her against
00:04Justin Baldoni. Justin Baldoni's legal team is accusing Blake Lively's attorney of threatening
00:10to release private text messages between her and Taylor Swift. Blake Lively's attorney
00:15allegedly threatened to expose Taylor Swift's private texts. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's
00:22feud just took a shocking turn. And this time, Taylor Swift's name is front and center. According
00:28to court documents obtained by Page Six, Justin's team is accusing Blake's attorney, Michael
00:34Gottlieb, of trying to release private text messages, allegedly between Blake and Taylor.
00:39Justin Baldoni's legal team is accusing Blake Lively's attorney of threatening to release
00:45private texts. If Taylor didn't issue a public statement of support for Blake. The demand was
00:51reportedly directed at Venable, the firm that represents Taylor. The texts in question are
00:56described as private and personal. And the implication was that they would be leaked if
01:01Taylor stayed silent. Blake Lively allegedly pressured Taylor Swift to show support amid Justin
01:07Baldoni lawsuit. Gottlieb has categorically denied the claim, calling it cowardly, false, and untethered
01:14from reality. He says this is just another attempt by Justin's camp to distract from the actual issues
01:20at hand. Justin, who is currently countersuing Blake for defamation and extortion following her
01:26suit against him. Justin Baldoni filed a bombshell $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against
01:32Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, is trying to subpoena Taylor's team to uncover communications that could back
01:38up his allegations. His lawyers argue that Taylor, though not involved in the movie It Ends With Us,
01:45was used as leverage by Blake to pressure Justin behind the scenes. Adding to the intrigue,
01:51Justin's team claims Blake even asked Taylor to delete their messages, based on information from an
01:57unnamed source likely to have reliable information. They also say Taylor's reps pushed back in a written
02:04message to Gottlieb, which they're now seeking through the courts as evidence of intimidation.
02:10The filing was made in response to a move by Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, to quash
02:16the subpoena aimed at Taylor's lawyers. Venable fired back, saying the subpoena was baseless since
02:23Taylor had nothing to do with the movie or the underlying claims in the case. They called the move
02:29a distraction and a burden on a completely uninvolved third party. Taylor herself was subpoenaed the week
02:36before this filing, further fueling speculation around how deeply she's being dragged into a case
02:42she insists she had nothing to do with. According to Justin's side, Taylor's influence was invoked
02:48during a text message Blake allegedly sent after a meeting over script changes. In that message,
02:55Blake referred to Taylor and Ryan as her dragons, a term Justin's team claims was used to intimidate him.
03:02They argue that the message signaled he wasn't just dealing with Blake, but also with two of the
03:08most powerful and wealthy celebrities in the world, who could make things very difficult for him.
03:14However, Taylor's team has been quick to dismiss any claim that she had a role in the production
03:20or the conflict surrounding it. Her publicist released a strongly worded statement to Page Six,
03:26clarifying that Taylor never set foot on the set, wasn't involved in casting, creative decisions,
03:33or scoring, and didn't even watch the movie until weeks after it came out.
03:38During the entire timeline in question, Taylor was traveling the globe on her record-breaking
03:44heiress tour. Blake's representatives echoed the sentiment, blasting Justin's team for pulling
03:50Taylor into what they view as a desperate attempt to control the narrative.
03:53They accused Justin of turning a serious case into a media circus. Despite the serious
03:59allegations, the back and forth is increasingly being viewed through a celebrity lens, with
04:04courtroom drama now involving three A-listers. The stakes are high. Reputations, careers,
04:12and perhaps even friendships hang in the balance. Whether or not the court will grant Justin's
04:17request for the alleged texts or written communications between Taylor's team and Blake's attorney
04:22remains to be seen. But one thing's clear. This case has morphed far beyond a workplace dispute,
04:30and it's pulling in some of the biggest names in entertainment. Taylor has yet to publicly comment
04:35on the situation herself, and it's unclear whether the court will compel her team to comply with the
04:41subpoena. Meanwhile, both sides continue to file motions and lob accusations, turning what began as a
04:49suit over alleged on-set misconduct into one of the most high-profile dramas of the year. And with Taylor,
04:56Blake, and Ryan now part of the narrative, even if unwillingly, this courtroom drama is only getting more
05:02dramatic.
