Taylor Swift, caught in Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni’s legal crossfire, may be forced to testify
Justin Baldoni said Blake Lively attempted to intimidate him by name-dropping Taylor Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds
As the legal feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni intensifies, a new celebrity name has been dragged into the mix—Taylor Swift.
According to Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, the pop superstar may be called to testify in the ongoing legal dispute between his client and Lively.
Speaking on the possibility of Swift being deposed, Freedman said on TMZ's Two Angry Men podcast: "I don’t know that we’re going to depose Taylor Swift. I think that’s going to be a game-time decision. I don’t know that that decision has been made."
However, he didn’t rule it out, stating: "But I can tell you this: Anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is going to be deposed."
Baldoni’s countersuit claims that Swift was present at a meeting at Lively’s New York City home, where a disputed rooftop scene from It Ends With Us was discussed.
According to Baldoni, Lively allegedly attempted to intimidate him by name-dropping Swift and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, referring to them as “absolute titans” in storytelling and writing.
Baldoni further claims that Lively referenced her close relationship with Swift and Reynolds, allegedly saying:
“I’m so lucky to have them as creative barometers.” She reportedly called them her ‘dragons’, claiming they protect her in all her battles.
