Justin Baldoni accuses Taylor Swift, Blake Lively of ‘manipulative’ behaviour

Justin Baldoni’s deposition excerpts have slowly been seeping out into the public, and things are not looking good for the Clouds director.

The It Ends With Us actor has been sued for sexual harassment and of orchestrating a smear campaign by Blake Lively, and in his deposition is being asked about some past events.

As per Page Six, the latest excerpts come from a conversation the 41-year-old had after being contacted by HR, the department that the Gossip Girl alum had complained to about feeling uncomfortable around her co-star.

After the “traumatising” chat with the department, Justin took to a group chat, with Rainn Wilson and Andy Grammer to unload.

“[Lively] had the nuclear bomb. If she doesn’t promote the movie, she can leak that I’m a bad person or that she felt unsafe with me and all the stuff she has on me,” he wrote.

“Then she’s the victim. It’s the Taylor Swift playbook, so she can ask for whatever she wants because she knows I know,” he added referring to the narrative around the singer and the way she deals with her public fallouts.

Notably, other confessions from the deposition, such as saying that he was circumcised, with no proper context or direct questioning, have further painted Justin in a bad light.

How is Taylor Swift involved?

Justin alleges that Blake used her friendship, while Taylor used her power and influence to interfere and make changes in some of the scenes from It Ends With Us.
