Unsealed Texts Reveal Swift's Support for Lively in Baldoni Suit

Newly unsealed court documents in the ongoing legal dispute between actress Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni have revealed private text messages between Lively and singer Taylor Swift, showing Swift's deeper involvement in Lively's grievances against Baldoni during the production of the film "It Ends With Us." The exchanges, made public this week, contradict earlier statements from Swift's representatives distancing her from the project and highlight tensions that led to Lively's lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation.

The texts, spanning from April 2024 to December 2024, depict Swift offering support to Lively amid growing conflicts on set. In one message from December 5, 2024, Swift wrote to Lively about an article in which Baldoni discussed his past experiences with sexual trauma, stating, "I think this bh knows something is coming because hes gotten out his tiny violin." Lively replied, noting differences in how Baldoni framed his story compared to interactions with her. Swift responded, expressing disgust and asking if everything was on track with Lively's plans. A week later, Lively confirmed a delay but affirmed it was worth the wait.
