Justin Baldoni says Blake Lively blackmailed best friend Taylor Swift, threatened to release private messages

A shocking accusation has come up in the ongoing legal fight between actress Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni. Baldoni’s legal team claims that Lively threatened to publicly share private text messages between herself and Taylor Swift unless Swift made a public statement supporting Lively in her sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against Baldoni.

This claim is part of a larger legal battle that includes a $400 million countersuit filed by Baldoni against Lively, where he accuses her of defamation and extortion. The accusation appeared in a letter to the judge, responding to objections from Lively and Ryan Reynolds about a subpoena sent to Taylor Swift’s law firm, Venable.
