Taylor Swift Joins Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Legal Battle

The ongoing legal dispute involving Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Taylor Swift continues to unfold in the media. Recently unsealed court documents shed light on the allegations against Baldoni, director of the film “It Ends with Us.”

Background of Allegations

Blake Lively has accused Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and an effort to damage her reputation. These claims arose during the filming of the 2024 movie, where Lively starred alongside Baldoni. Legal filings highlight conversations Lively had with friends, including Taylor Swift, regarding her troubling experiences on set.

Involvement of Taylor Swift

Swift’s support for Lively has been documented in various text exchanges. In one instance, Lively referred to Baldoni as her “doofus director.” In another communication prior to a New York Times article on the set’s issues, Swift commented on Baldoni’s behavior, suggesting a foreboding awareness of the upcoming media exposure.

Legal Proceedings and Claims

• In December 2024, Lively filed a Civil Rights complaint against Baldoni, citing sexual harassment.
• A subsequent suit from Lively accused Baldoni and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, of retaliation.
• Baldoni responded with a $400 million defamation suit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, claiming they were sabotaging his career.

A judge dismissed Baldoni’s suits against both Lively and Reynolds in June 2025, as well as his claims against the New York Times for publishing unflattering details about the case.

Recent Developments

In May 2025, Swift was subpoenaed in connection with the legal battle. Despite Baldoni’s attempts to bring Swift into the deposition, a judge denied his request in September 2025. The upcoming trial for Lively’s suit against Baldoni has been scheduled for May 18, 2026, after a postponement from the original date.

Additional Context

Amidst the legal turmoil, Lively and Swift’s friendship remains strong. Swift is the godmother of Lively and Reynolds’ daughters, which further underscores their close relationship. The shared history between the two includes Lively directing a music video for one of Swift’s songs.

Other Allegations

Documents also reveal that other cast members, like actress Jenny Slate, expressed discomfort with Baldoni’s conduct on set, highlighting a broader pattern of distress among the team during production. The complexity of this case reflects significant issues within Hollywood related to on-set behavior.
