Lawyer for Blake Lively dismisses allegations of threats toward Taylor Swift, labeling them as unfounded.
Rewritten Article:
In a bold move, Blake Lively's lawyer, Mike Gottlieb, squashes the rumors swirling around Lively's alleged coercion of Taylor Swift. Amidst her ongoing legal conflict with her It Ends With Us co-star, Lively's name has been tangled in accusations of pressuring Swift to make a public stand in the dispute.
Despite Taylor's team vehemently denying any role in the legal fracas, Baldoni insists that Lively, the erstwhile Gossip Girl star, indeed demanded Swift to issue a show of solidarity for Lively. If Swift declined, according to Baldoni, private, personal text messages from Lively's stash would be released.
In an exclusive discussion with People Magazine, Gottlieb, aged 36, swiftly debunked such rumors that painted his client and her friend, Swift, in a negative light. He stated emphatically, "This is pure fiction. We emphatically negate these alleged accusations, which originate from supposed anonymous sources, and have no connection to reality whatsoever."
He further added, "We've come to anticipate this sort of behavior from Baldoni's legal team—shoot first, without any substantial evidence, and seemingly uncaring about causing harm to innocent individuals." According to Gottlieb, he will soon file motions with the court to hold the opposing legal team accountable for their alleged misconduct.
If you're scratching your head trying to remember, Lively lodged a lawsuit against Baldoni in the frosty months of December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment on set.
