Overview

• A federal judge has ordered the removal of allegations that Blake Lively threatened Taylor Swift to secure her public support in Lively's harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.
• Lively’s legal team has categorically denied the claims, calling them baseless and unsupported by evidence.
• The legal dispute began in December 2024, when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and unprofessional behavior during the filming of 'It Ends With Us.'
• Baldoni countersued for defamation and extortion, involving Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their PR team in the claims.
• Taylor Swift, subpoenaed as a witness, has clarified she had no involvement in the film beyond licensing a song and remains distanced from the proceedings.
