Blake Lively Allegedly Asked Taylor Swift to Delete Texts Amid Legal Battle

  • Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, co-star and director of It Ends With Us, are engaged in a legal battle set for trial in March 2026 in New York.
  • The conflict originated when Lively brought forward allegations against Baldoni involving sexual harassment and retaliation, while Baldoni responded by filing a countersuit accusing her and others of defamation and contract violations.
  • The case involves allegations that Lively pressured Taylor Swift to publicly support her and delete private text messages, with Baldoni's team claiming witness tampering.
  • Lively's lawyer called Baldoni's accusations “categorically false” and criticized the subpoena of Swift as a tactic to create tabloid clickbait, noting Swift’s minimal involvement in the film.
  • The ongoing litigation reveals intense Hollywood conflicts and suggests reputational risks for both parties as they prepare for a drawn-out legal process.
