Blake Lively Attempts to Block Justin Baldoni Requesting Taylor Swift Texts

  • On June 13, 2025, Blake Lively sought a protective order to prevent Justin Baldoni’s legal team from accessing her private text messages with Taylor Swift amid the ongoing legal dispute involving Wayfarer Studios.
  • The request follows Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios' earlier subpoenas seeking Swift's communications, which they withdrew in May 2025 after public backlash and legal pushback from Lively's team.
  • The legal battle stems from Lively's December 2024 lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and a smear campaign on the set of their 2024 film 'It Ends With Us', which Baldoni denied.
  • Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed Baldoni's $400 million defamation countersuit against Lively and others on June 9, affirming that Lively's harassment claims are legally protected speech.
  • This ongoing dispute indicates continued efforts to involve Swift as a public relations strategy rather than a litigation necessity, reflecting a broader media emphasis beyond the dismissed lawsuits.
