00:00In a new development from the ongoing Eagle battle over It Ends With Us stars, U.S. District

00:06Judge Louis Lehman ruled on Wednesday that Blake Lively must hand over specific messages

00:12exchanged with Taylor Swift to actor-director Justin Baldoni.

00:16These messages must relate directly to the working environment on the film set or issues

00:21tied to Lively's harassment and retaliation claims.

00:26Judge Lehman clarified that since Lively acknowledged Swift had knowledge of certain complaints or

00:32discussions, those texts could be crucial in confirming or refuting illegal claims.

00:37The court, however, limited the scope strictly to relevant messages, avoiding a broad release

00:43of personal communications.

00:45Earlier, Lively's legal team had offered Baldoni access to all request documents, excluding

00:51Swift's messages in return for full video footage and unredacted communications mentioned

00:57in the complaint.

00:59Baldoni's team rejected the proposal.

01:02Lively spokesperson criticized Baldoni's approach, saying his team has tried to involve

01:08Swift since August 2024 to build a public relations narrative outside of court.

01:14They claim it's an effort to distract from the harassment allegations Baldoni and his wayfarer

01:19Banner are facing.

01:22This ruling follows the recent dismissal of Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against

01:28Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others.

01:31Although the subpoena targeting Swift were previously withdrawn, this new order reopens a narrow window

01:37for her name to remain tied to the case.
