Ongoing legal battles related to the film It Ends With Us have revealed alleged text messages exchanged between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift in court documents. The messages contained harsh remarks about director and actor Justin Baldoni. It was noted that Lively sought support from Swift for some creative changes planned for the film, while Swift openly backed her friend.
The storm surrounding one of Hollywood's most talked-about productions, It Ends With Us, shows no signs of calming down. A surprising name has emerged in the ongoing legal process between Blake Lively and the film's director and lead actor, Justin Baldoni: Taylor Swift.
New documents entered into the court files reportedly include private messages exchanged between Blake Lively and her close friend Taylor Swift, containing phrases like "stupid" and "clown."
The documents presented by Baldoni's side allege that Swift used harsh and derogatory language towards director Baldoni. Lively, on the other hand, was said to have been asked by Baldoni to approve a revised script while visiting her friend Swift.
Additionally, the documents state that Baldoni requested Swift to approve a revised script while at Lively's home. It is argued that these correspondences reveal the behind-the-scenes disputes occurring during the film.
MESSAGES PRESENTED AS "EVIDENCE"
Justin Baldoni's legal team requested the submission of these correspondences to the court, stating that they are critical to the case. The judge allowed the examination of the messages. Previously, Blake Lively had attempted to prevent the inclusion of her private correspondences with Swift in the case, but this request was denied.
The documents suggest that Lively sought support from Swift for some creative changes planned for the film, while Swift openly backed her friend. This situation indicates that the case is not limited to on-set disputes but reveals a broader power struggle behind the scenes. According to the petition, Taylor Swift stated, "I think this person knows what will happen in advance, that's why they are prepared to play the victim."
TAYLOR SWIFT STATED SHE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT
The Taylor Swift camp had previously stated in their announcements that she did not take on any creative role in the project and only provided music licensing support. At one point, there was a discussion about calling Swift as a witness, but this request was later withdrawn.
THE CASE IS GROWING
The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni began with allegations of pressure on set, communication issues, and violations of professional boundaries, turning into one of Hollywood's most complex cases with mutual accusations. Now, the inclusion of Taylor Swift's name in the official court files has taken the process to a whole new level.
