Taylor Swift Subpoenaed in Lively-Baldoni Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Taylor Swift has been subpoenaed as a witness in the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni regarding the film It Ends With Us, but Swift's representatives strongly deny her involvement in any creative or casting decisions related to the film, labeling the subpoena as an attempt to generate tabloid attention. The dispute centers on allegations of sexual harassment made by Lively against Baldoni, who is counter-suing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation and other claims. Baldoni alleges that Swift was present during a script re-write meeting alongside Reynolds, serving as one of Lively's 'dragons,' a claim Swift's camp denies. The legal conflict has also strained personal relationships, with reports suggesting that Swift's friends, including model Gigi Hadid, have distanced themselves from Lively amid the litigation. Despite their longstanding friendship, Swift is reportedly hurt by the situation, and the legal turmoil threatens to permanently damage her relationship with Lively. Blake Lively is expected to testify in the upcoming trial, while Swift maintains her limited connection to the film, having only licensed a song for its soundtrack.
