A document reveals Justin Baldoni’s team allegedly involved Taylor Swift in a plot against Blake Lively, sparking controversy.
Recently, Justin Baldoni has found himself in a major controversy involving Blake Lively and Taylor Swift.
The release of some documents unfolded this situation.
The documents revealed alleged text messages suggesting Baldoni’s team may have plotted to damage Lively’s reputation.
The connections to Swift have surprised many fans and raised questions about the dynamics in Hollywood.
Justin Baldoni faced controversy involving Blake Lively’s lawsuit.
The drama began when reports revealed that Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who starred together in the film It Ends With Us, were avoiding press events together.
This led fans to speculate about a possible feud between the two actors.
The film, released in August 2024, is based on the popular novel by Colleen Hoover.
On December 21, news broke that Lively had filed a lawsuit against Baldoni.
She accused him of sexual harassment and claimed that he tried to create a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni’s legal team quickly responded, labeling Lively’s accusations as “categorically false” and suggesting that she was trying to improve her own tarnished reputation.
Text messages revealed Baldoni’s alleged harmful intentions.
The lawsuit included several text messages between Baldoni and his crisis management team.
These messages allegedly show Baldoni discussing ways to undermine Lively’s public image.
One message suggested using a negative story about Hailey Bieber to “destroy” Lively’s reputation.
What raised eyebrows even more was an email from Melissa Nathan, Baldoni’s crisis expert.
In this August 6 email, she suggested planting stories about feminism and celebrities like Taylor Swift using such tactics.
This revelation has sparked speculation about Swift’s involvement, though her direct connection to the plot remains unclear.
“Our team can also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people like Taylor Swift have been accused of utilizing these tactics to ‘bully’ into getting what they want.”
According to US Weekly, the email reads: “We have seen the most innocuous issues turn giant due to socials or the hugest crises have no effect on social whatsoever.
“You just cannot tell at this stage. But, BL does have some of the same TS fanbase so we will be taking it extremely seriously.”
Lively aims to expose retaliatory tactics.
Blake Lively spoke out about her legal action, hoping to expose what she described as “sinister retaliatory tactics.”
She aims to protect others who might be targeted for speaking up about misconduct in the industry.
Lively’s allegations have sparked discussions on Hollywood’s treatment of women and the lengths taken to protect reputations.
“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said.
Social media reactions
The news has created a buzz on social media, with many fans expressing their shock and disappointment.
Some have come to Lively’s defense, while others have criticized Baldoni’s alleged actions.
Taylor Swift’s fanbase, known for being very vocal and supportive, has fueled the fire.
I feel like everyone is saying poor Blake but she’s married to and played cameo in Deadpool as well as Gossip girl. She is not some innocent person, one user said.
I saw the movie and did not know about all this drama. I was creeped out by him immediately and it was a strange vibe, not to do with the subject matter, the second user wrote.
Really good movie sounds like he got a little too into character for his part.
Strange an alpha male chose to direct this particular project, the third user commented.
What’s wrong with all this. It’s a good movie, a bit fake cause the reality of domestic violence is a lot worse than this… specially psychological… but well, it shows awareness for the problem, another user wrote.
Exactly. Taylor has nothing to do with it, someone said.
