The Lively vs. Baldoni Showdown: A Star-Studded Faceoff, Maybe Even with Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift faces potential summons under legal proceedings.
The tension between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni could escalate into a courtroom standoff by next year. If things don't settle out of court, not one, but two A-list celebrities could become unwilling spectators—Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman.
According to a tipster speaking to the famed US publication "People", anyone with ties to the situation, celebrities included, will eventually be summoned to court. Swift and Jackman, both friends of Lively and Reynolds, might find themselves in such a predicament.
However, whether this actually pans out remains a mystery. Legal representatives from both parties remain tight-lipped about the prospect. Furthermore, another source dismissed the rumors as mere noise designed to distract from the allegations against Baldoni. Neither Swift nor Jackman have reportedly been notified about the possible subpoena.
Interestingly, tabloids like the British "Daily Mail" hinted at Swift and Jackman being involved way back in March, citing various insiders. They predicted it was "inevitable" that the actor would have to testify if the lawsuit went to trial.
The Prolonged Spat
Lively and Baldoni have been exchanging heated words for quite some time now, with accusations flying left and right. Whispers of discord between the two had been circulating even before the premiere of their summer 2024 film.
In December 2024, Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department, citing sexual harassment and an attempt to smear her reputation. She later took her claims to a New York federal court.
In a dramatic turn of events, Baldoni counter-sued, demanding at least $400 million in damages. He accused the defendants of extortion, defamation, and privacy invasion.
