Justin Baldoni Lawsuit Alleges Blake Lively Used Taylor Swift as a Threat

by

In simpler terms, the recent $400 million lawsuit filed by Justin Baldoni against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds includes a number of assertions. One of these claims suggests that Lively exploited her relationship with renowned musician Taylor Swift to bully or intimidate him.

What did Justin Baldoni say about Blake Lively and Taylor Swift?

As a gamer putting on my storyteller hat, I’d rephrase it like this: While we were filming It Ends With Us, there were some private conversations between me and Lively that were part of a legal dispute (reported by Variety). In one of our text exchanges, we talked about a scene on the rooftop, which they had revised. Additionally, it seems there was a meeting, involving myself, Lively, Reynolds, and someone who appears to be Swift. During this get-together, Lively and her husband, along with the pop star, complimented Lively’s take on that specific scene.

As stated by Baldoni’s legal team, the filmmaker felt compelled to message Lively to confirm that he had liked her social media profiles, and not because he was influenced or pressured by Reynolds and her highly influential celebrity friend.

As a fan, I’d put it like this: “I was busy working on a rooftop scene today, and let me tell you, your work just blew me away! It adds so much depth and excitement to the project (trust me, I would have enjoyed it without Ryan and Taylor too). You’ve got a true gift – a talent that spans across all aspects of filmmaking. I can’t help but feel excited and grateful to be working alongside you.

In the text from Lively, she refers to Reynolds and another person (whose name has been redacted) as “titan-level writers and storytellers outside of their main jobs.” She also mentions that she sometimes struggles with being noticed and utilized, out of fear of upsetting others or complicating the process. However, they don’t seem to care about these concerns. Because of this, everyone listens to them with great respect and excitement. So, I suppose I have to stop worrying about whether people like me.

Lively compares herself to Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen in texts

Lively’s text message concludes with her likening herself to Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, stating that just as the Khaleesi has dragons who will take any action required to safeguard her, she too possesses “protective allies” that Baldoni’s legal team interprets as a potential threat towards him.

As a passionate gamer, if you someday decide to dive into the world of Game of Thrones, you’ll find an intriguing parallel: I am not just any player, I am Daenerys Targaryen, and much like her, I have a handful of dragons. These creatures may cause chaos at times, but they mostly bring benefits. My dragons serve as guardians for those I defend, ensuring we all gain from their fearsome power. If you join me in this virtual journey, you’ll experience the same advantage—I can assure you of that!

Baldoni accused Lively of extortion, defamation, and breach of contract, mainly regarding the production of “It Ends With Us.” Lively’s team has countered by describing the lawsuit as just another tactic from an alleged abuser.

Previously, Baldoni initiated a lawsuit against Lively on the brink of the new year, accusing Lively’s PR team of propagating an “unverified and self-serving story” against Baldoni. They allegedly used “selective and manipulated communications devoid of essential context” to portray him negatively. The lawsuit includes a demand for at least $250 million, citing fraud, breach of contract, and libel as the grounds.
