Celebrity Taylor Swift Allegedly Evading Communication from Blake Lively After Justin Baldoni Controversy
In a surprising turn of events, the long-standing friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively appears to be strained, following Lively's lawsuit against her costar and director, Justin Baldoni, in December.
Lively, who is godmother to Swift's children, is embroiled in a legal battle that involves allegations of sexual harassment and a smear campaign. This ongoing lawsuit has reportedly created tension between the two friends.
Swift was subpoenaed by Baldoni's lawyers, a move that seems to have put a significant strain on their relationship. The singer is said to want to avoid involvement in the drama, which has led to a break in their communication for months.
Recently, a judge granted Baldoni's team permission to see texts between Lively and Swift pertaining to the film "It Ends With Us". The texts were requested to discover information about the working environment on the film and Lively's harassment and retaliation claims.
Justin Baldoni has denied the allegations made by Lively, and a source close to Swift claims that she resents being brought into the ongoing lawsuit and is furious at Lively for using her for clout and leverage.
Rumours of a strain in their friendship have been circulating, with some speculating that the damage Justin did by revealing the 'dragons' text and initial subpoena is reportedly lasting and permanent for Swift. The singer has been unresponsive to Lively's messages, further fuelling speculation about the state of their friendship.
Despite the current situation, it's important to note that Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been friends for many years, often appearing in public together. A song named betty by Taylor was even named after Blake's third daughter.
Gigi Hadid, another close friend of Swift, is reportedly standing by her side in this difficult time. The status of the friendship between Swift and Lively remains uncertain, but it's clear that the legal issues have had a significant impact on their relationship.
