Blake Lively responds to Justin Baldoni following Taylor Swift's subpoena incident
Fresh Spin
Blake Lively's legal team has laid down some heavy criticism in a scathing statement, slamming her 'It Ends With Us' co-stars' team for turning the alleged messy legal issues into a circus spectacle.
In a bold move, the 37-year-old actress's rep called out Justin Baldoni and co., claiming, "This ain't no Barnum & Bailey's show. It's a damn serious legal matter!"
The furious statement continued, "These jokers keep twisting a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into tabloid fodder. They even thought up the mad idea of auctioning off Ms. Lively's deposition at Madison Square Garden! And that's not all – they even subpoenaed Taylor Swift for crying out loud!" as reported in People Magazine.
The lawyer for the 'Gossip Girl' alum didn't mince words, adding, "These clowns keep trying to intimidate, bully, and shame women. They're attacking our hard-earned reputations!"
This shocking response comes after Swift was tangled up in the case on Friday, May 9th.
Swift's team was quick to defend her, stating, "Taylor Swift ain't got nothing to do with this movie set. She just licensed her hit song My Tears Ricochet for use in the flick." Taylor's peeps even went on to deny the pop superstar had any involvement whatsoever in the filmmaking process.
"Taylor Swift never darkened the set with her presence," Swift's team insisted.
