Unsealed Exhibit Says Swift, Jackman Saw Reynolds Confront Baldoni in 2023

A newly unsealed court exhibit identifies Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman as present at the 2023 exchange, intensifying scrutiny of evidence as the case heads toward a March 2026 trial.

Overview

  • The detail appears in a timeline emailed by Wayfarer co‑founder Jamey Heath’s team to Justin Baldoni’s publicist in July 2024 that was unsealed this week.
  • The document describes Ryan Reynolds at the couple’s New York penthouse on April 25, 2023 telling Baldoni it was “horrible” to ask about a woman’s weight and says Baldoni apologized through tears.
  • Blake Lively’s complaint frames the conduct as back‑channel body criticism, while Baldoni denies wrongdoing and says he asked Lively’s trainer about her weight to prepare safely for a lift given chronic back issues.
  • Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman are listed by Lively’s lawyers as potential witnesses; a judge limited efforts to subpoena Swift, and her representative says her sole connection was licensing “My Tears Ricochet.”
  • The dispute continues in Manhattan federal court with trial set for March 2026 after dismissal of Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit and ongoing filings that place more discovery materials on the record.
