The drama continues in the judicial war that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni engage in. This time, the actor’s legal team said before the judge that the former star of Gossip Girl had used blackmail to put pressure on his friend Taylor Swift so that she launched a support message in his favor.
In new developments, we now learn that the judge of the case has not proven the lawyers of Justin Baldoni. On the contrary, according to the words of the representatives of his female co-star in a press release, which the director of It Ends With Us had no foundation:
“It took less than 24 hours at the Court to see clearly in the unrelevant, inappropriate and virulent accusations of Mr. Freedman, cancel them, dismiss them from the court and warn Mr. Freedman that any new misconduct could be sanctioned.”
Bryan Freedman, Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, said he was informed by a source close to Taylor Swift who, according to him, “is likely to have reliable information” that Blake Lively lawyers had contacted Taylor Swift to ask him to publish a support message on his social networks. According to this informant, it is the lawyer of Blake Lively who “asked, on behalf of his client, that Taylor Swift makes a declaration on social networks to support Ms. Lively since she would be present at the Super Bowl that year, and declared that if Ms. Swift did not do it, Ms. Lively would publish” 10 years “of private texts with Mrs. Swift”.
The allegations now rejected, declared as “defamatory” by the judge of the case, constitute another step of perspective for the actor of Jane The Virginwho continued Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds after she accused her of sexual harassment:
“Mr. Freedman’s apparent intention is to disseminate scandalous and defamatory allegations in the press about Ms. Lively and the lawyer for the opposing party, abusing the role of the Court,” said the judge in his response.
