Taylor Swift is said to be “baffled” by Justin Baldoni’s claims in his lawsuit

One source claims that the singer’s relationship with Lively is purely friendship, with no intention of exercising any form of “control” over the actress’s projects.

Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively Ryan Reynolds It includes allegations that Lively enlisted the help of Taylor Swift, whom she called “The Dragon,” to pressure the actress about reviewing the script.

According to Daily Maila source close to Swift shared that the pop star is “confused” after being dragged into Baldoni’s legal battle with Lively.

The insider explained: “Taylor is proud of the film because her music was featured in it, which gave her a sense of involvement, even though she was not fully aware of the extent of the project’s developments.”

They stressed that Swift’s relationship with Blake is “purely friendly, with no interest in influencing or controlling Blake’s projects.”

She reportedly did not intend to be present during a meeting between Baldoni and Lively and simply stopped by to visit her friend but arrived while the meeting was still ongoing.

The source also states that Swift “finds Justin’s explanation of this encounter confusing, and those close to her suspect that she is drawn into the situation as a way to target Blake.”

“This was the first time Taylor met Justin,” they added. “She had no idea who he was and Taylor was simply polite. She was as polite to him as she was to everyone she met.”

The controversy erupted when Lively (37 years old) filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni (40 years old) of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment during the filming of the movie “It Ends With Us.”

In response, Baldoni filed a $400 million countersuit, which included several shocking allegations. One of the most unexpected bits was that Lively enlisted the help of her close friend, Taylor Swift, to put pressure on the actor after he expressed concerns about some changes in Blake’s script.

Although Swift was not directly named in Baldoni’s lawsuit, the actor included screenshots of text messages that appeared to implicate the singer.

In legal documents, Baldoni’s lawyer claimed that Lively asked her if she could recreate a crucial scene in “It Ends With Us,” where their characters meet on a rooftop.

Baldoni allegedly agreed to revise her version but was “reluctant” to use it because it “differed significantly from what was originally written.”

However, he thanked Lively for her enthusiasm but told her “the scene will likely end up somewhere between the original and (Blake’s) version.”

The documents state that Lively later invited Baldoni to her home to discuss the rewrite, where her husband, Ryan Reynolds, “fired enthusiastic praise” on Lively’s version of the scene.

As the meeting ended, a close and well-known friend of both Reynolds and Lively entered the room and similarly praised the script.

The lawsuit reveals that Baldoni later texted Lively to express his appreciation for the rewritten scene, saying, “I really like what you did. It really (helps) a lot.” It makes it more fun and interesting. “And I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor.”

According to Baldoni’s lawsuit, Lively responded to his message by comparing herself to the Game of Thrones character Khaleesi and said Reynolds and Swift were her “dragons.”

“If you watch Game of Thrones,” she told Baldoni, “you’ll appreciate that I’m Khaleesi, and like her, I have some dragons. For better or worse, but usually for the better. Because my dragons also protect those I’m fighting for, so, we all benefit from those wonderful beasts of mine.” .

“They are embarrassingly over-the-top,” Lively added in the alleged text messages, describing herself as “the luckiest on the planet” to have them as her supporters and “most trusted partners.”

She continued, “I think they wanted you and me to see how they felt about (the rewrite) because they had been by my side through so many overlooked experiences.”

Baldoni’s lawsuit stated that after the meeting, Lively began making daily changes to the script, which raised concerns among the producers, director and studio.

They feared that repeating the changes would “disrupt the carefully planned production schedule.”

In a statementBaldoni’s attorney, Brian Friedman, defended the lawsuit.

He noted that it showed “a massive amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s deceptive attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team, and their companies by publishing new, altered, and unsubstantiated information to the media.”

Friedman asserted that Lively “was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and intentionally distorted the truth.”

He stressed that “Justin and his team have nothing to hide. Documents do not lie.”

In response to Baldoni’s lawsuit, Lively’s legal team issued a strong statement, condemning his lawsuit as part of a broader pattern of abuse.

They accused him of using a strategy known as “DARVO: Deny, Attack, Victim-Perpetrator Reversal.”

The statement also criticized production company Wayfarer, for allegedly using its “billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch baseless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation for sexual harassment allegations.” “

They claimed the goal was to “shift the narrative to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she had seized creative control and alienated the actors from Mr. Baldoni.”
