Revealing Texts Between Lively and Swift
The texts exchanged in December 2024 surfaced as part of ongoing legal proceedings against Baldoni.

- Key Figures: Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni
Swift’s Observations on Baldoni’s Statements
Swift reportedly sent Lively a screenshot from People magazine that covered Baldoni’s remarks. In her message, she expressed skepticism about his sincerity, alluding to his previous relationship issues: “I think this b—- knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.”
Meanwhile, Lively shared her frustration about Baldoni’s public narrative, pointing out how his omission of certain truths alters the perception of his actions. “It rings different when he doesn’t end the story by saying ‘Did I always listen when they said no? No.’ Like he did with me,” she commented, showcasing her discontent.
Harassment Allegations and Legal Strategies
As the legal proceedings unfold, further accusations have emerged against Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath. Lively has accused them of engaging in a retaliatory smear campaign after she filed complaints about sexual harassment. Her allegations became public knowledge on December 21, when her complaint to California’s Civil Rights Department was disclosed.
- Claims Made: Sexual harassment and retaliation
- Legal Proceedings: Trial scheduled for May 18, 2024
Supporting Evidence
Attorney Sigrid McCawley stated that unsealed evidence includes testimonies and messages affirming Lively’s claims. This evidence is said to document how concerns regarding harassment were acknowledged as early as Spring 2023, only for the studio, Wayfarer, to dismiss openly discussed grievances.
Swift’s Involvement and Public Advocacy
Despite speculation surrounding Swift’s involvement, her team has clarified that her participation was limited to licensing a song for the film, similar to other artists. Swift’s spokesperson insisted that she had no role in the film’s production or decision-making and had not viewed “It Ends With Us” until after its release.
The unsealed documents also encompass depositions from co-stars Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer, along with communication from “It Ends With Us” author Colleen Hoover. As the trial approaches, Lively’s legal team is prepared to present a strong case against the defendants.
As the legal battles continue, the public is closely following this high-profile case that highlights serious issues of harassment and accountability in the entertainment industry.
