Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni: Taylor Swift is part of the dispute

It’s getting dirtier and dirtier: After Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against actor and director Justin Baldoni at the end of last year, her co-star from the film “Just One More Time” (“It Ends With Us”) is now hitting back.

Baldoni is suing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for $400 million in damages. It’s about slander and blackmail. Baldoni and Lively appeared together in front of the camera for “It Ends With Us”, Baldoni also directed, and his studio also produced the drama. Shortly before the release of the film, Baldoni’s falling out with the rest of the cast attracted attention. After Lively recently filed a lawsuit, more and more details became known. Read more about it.

In his lawsuit, Baldoni not only refers to Lively herself, but also to her husband, “Deadpool” superstar Ryan Reynolds. Among other things, Lively used him to put pressure on Baldoni. The lawsuit speaks of a meeting that took place in Lively and Reynolds’ New York penthouse. The actress apparently wanted to discuss parts of the script there again.

However, when Baldoni arrived, not only Lively was there, but also her husband and superstar Taylor Swift. Swift and Lively have been close friends for many years. The singer raved to Baldoni about Lively’s changes to the script. After the meeting, he wrote a text message to his colleague, which is also shown in the complaint. “I really love what you’ve done. It’s really very helpful,” he wrote to Lively. “That makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor),” he added.

Lively then replied with a long message. She is said to have compared herself to Mother Dragon Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones”. “I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but mostly good,” she is said to have written. “Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So we all truly benefit from these beautiful monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you that,” she reportedly wrote, referring to Reynolds and Swift.

Baldoni claims Lively wanted to gain control of the film. His PR consultants, who are listed as co-plaintiffs, also appear in his lawsuit. They were also part of Lively’s lawsuit. The actress accuses them of planning together with Baldoni to permanently damage her reputation.

“Over the last month, we have received death threats, vile insults and vile anti-Semitic slurs hurled at us because she sought to use us as scapegoats for her own decisions in promoting the film that made her millions of dollars.” , PR experts Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan explained to the US magazine “Page Six”.

After two lawsuits and countless allegations, the dispute between Lively and Baldoni is far from being buried.
