It Seems Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman Aren't Directly in Blake Lively's Legal Storm... Yet 🌩️
The tension between Gossip Girl alum Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni remains tense, with their ongoing legal battle causing ripples among Hollywood's A-listers.
While they duke it out in court, it seems Blake's pals Taylor Swift, 35, and Hugh Jackman, 56, might unwillingly find themselves hauled into the drama. According to sources, they'll likely be served papers "any day now"! 📣
One source, speaking to Daily Mail on April 22, hinted, "It could happen at any moment." They added that Swift, who's riding high with her latest chart-topper, "Anti-Hero," has been "waiting" to receive the papers.
So, what's the beef between Blake and Justin? Let's rewind to December 2024, when Blake filed a lawsuit against Justin, alleging he had waged a smear campaign against her, causing an uncomfortable environment on set.
Justin fired back in January with his own lawsuit, aiming for a staggering $400 million in damages—with Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, included as defendants.
Now, here's where Taylor and Hugh come in: Justin claimed that Blake leveraged her friendship with Taylor to manipulate him regarding production changes in the film. He also mentioned that Blake had designated Taylor and Ryan as her creative barometers and dragons.
The legal disputes seem to have put a strain on Blake's relationship with Taylor. But, as of March, an insider reported that Taylor, known for her resilience, was not shaken by the drama and was choosing to face it head-on. 💪
