Blake Lively Seeks Court Order Blocking Justin Baldoni Access to Taylor Swift Texts

Blake Lively has filed a motion in New York court seeking a protective order to block Justin Baldoni from accessing her private text messages with Taylor Swift amid their ongoing legal dispute. Lively's legal team alleges that Baldoni’s pursuit of these communications is part of a strategic tactic to leverage Swift and her fanbase in the media, despite Baldoni previously dropping a subpoena of Swift’s messages after claiming to have obtained the information they sought. Lively's motion argues that her communications with Swift are irrelevant to the case and that continued demands for these messages are duplicative and unnecessary. The motion comes shortly after Judge Lewis Liman dismissed Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit against Lively and others. Lively’s attorneys also accuse Baldoni’s side of refusing to produce documents they claimed to have received as part of a deal to withdraw subpoenas to Swift, highlighting the contentious nature of the legal battle. The court has yet to rule on Lively’s request for the protective order.
