Taylor Swift’s attorney is finally addressing her deposition chatter in the It Ends With Us legal drama between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.
The Wayfarer Studios co-founder ‘s lawyer Bryan Freedman had stated that the Look What You Made Me Do singer was to be deposed for the case, but in the latest turn of events, the 14-tme Grammy winner’s legal team claims such is not the case.
In a filing submitted on Friday, J Douglas Baldridge of Venable LLP wrote to Judge Lewis Liman "since the inception of this matter we have consistently maintained that my client has no material role in this action,” referring to Swift.
"Further, my client did not agree to a deposition, but if she is forced into a deposition, we advised (after first hearing about the deposition just three days ago) that her schedule would accommodate the time required during the week of October 20 if the parties were able to work out their disputes,” the letter notes.
Swift’s lawyer argues, similarly to Lively’s, that Baldoni’s team is looking for media attention, and to make a spectacle of the court case.
Baldridge notes that the Vigilante Shit singer has a packed schedule, likely referring to the release of her twelfth studio album The Life of a Showgirl and has no substantial involvement in the case anyway.
Swift’s song Ruin the Friendship off of the yet-to-be-released album The Life of a Showgirl is widely speculated to be about the longtime friends’ recent estrangement.
