Legal flap for Blake Lively: Insight in Taylor Swift’s News allowed

First a big triumph, now a defeat: in the legal dispute against her “only once” co-star Justin Baldoni (41), Hollywood star Blake Lively (37) had to take a slap. , US district judge Lewis J. Liman decided that the private news between the actress and superstar Taylor Swift (35) will not be protected. The digital correspondence can therefore be viewed to a limited extent by Baldoni’s legal team.

Baldoni’s lawyers hope to get an insight into the actual events during the scandalumed production of the film “only once”. Baldoni, who participated in the shoot as a producer, director and leading actor, is known to accuse Blake Lively, is known to have sexual harassment and retaliation. In addition, she and the Wayfarer Studios team accuse him of starting a targeted dirt campaign against her after her complaint.

The responsible judge Liman now described the news from pop star Taylor Swift as “relevant” in his new decision for the top -class case. “Lively himself has identified Swift as someone who probably has knowledge of complaints or discussions regarding the working environment on the ‘only once’,” says the judge’s reasoning.

The exchange of news of the two US stars may now help “to find information that would prove or refute Lively’s claims for harassment and retaliation,” the judge continued.

Livelyy’s lawyer team had previously tried to argue that the information contained in the news was “irrelevant” or that their template would be inappropriate stress “. The judge did not follow this reasoning.

The name Taylor Swift has been appearing for a long time in the sensational legal dispute of the two “only once” main actor. The singer was officially charged in May of this year. At that time as an attempt to “attract public interest” by heating up the tabloid press instead of concentrating on the facts of the case. Swift’s team therefore pointed out that the singer’s only connection to the film was that she had allowed the use of the song “My Tears Ricochet”.

Just a short time later, on May 22nd of this year, Baldoni’s lawyers withdrew Swift. As “Deadline” reports in reference to sources, this has happened, since Swift’s lawyers would have voluntarily given the desired documents. In his today’s decision, Richter Liman emphasized that Baldoni’s lawyer team should not even think about getting through private text messages and emails between Swift and Lively.

Previously, Blake Lively had made a great win in her ongoing legal dispute. A few days ago, a court in New York rejected Justin Baldoni’s defamation against his “only once” co-star and her husband Ryan Reynolds (48). As a reason, it was said that Baldoni could not adequately prove the accusations raised. He had requested $ 400 million compensation for alleged calls for calls.
