"The famously drama-free Taylor Swift aims to stay that way after the release of her private texts with Blake Lively, amid the actress' ongoing legal battle against her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni. An insider told People that the Fate of Ophelia crooner, 36, is just trying to stay away from the drama after the communications appeared in court documents that were partially unsealed last week."
"In December 2024, Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of their film and a retaliatory smear campaign. Denying the accusations, Baldoni filed a since-dismissed $400 million countersuit alleging defamation against Lively and her camp. The source said Swift who was briefly subpoenaed as a witness last year feels like her privacy was impacted when her texts were made public. She was just being a friend to Blake, and it's turned into something bigger than she ever expected, they added."
Taylor Swift is seeking to maintain privacy and distance after private messages with Blake Lively were released when court documents were partially unsealed. Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment on set and a retaliatory smear campaign. Justin Baldoni denied the accusations and filed a subsequently dismissed $400 million countersuit alleging defamation. Swift was briefly subpoenaed as a witness and feels her privacy was impacted when her communications became public. The late-2024 messages largely reference a December 21 New York Times report that prompted a tossed $250 million libel lawsuit from Baldoni. Swift publicly praised Lively for helping others.
