Text exchange between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively released amid legal battle with Justin Baldoni

  • Unsealed texts between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift show ongoing friendship tensions as the case heads to trial, slated for May 18, 2026.
  • The suit centers on allegations that Blake Lively launched the dispute by filing with the California Civil Rights Department and later sued Justin Baldoni over sexual harassment claims causing `severe emotional distress` and a `hostile work environment`, which Baldoni denies while countersuing.
  • Lively's messages show harsh insults like `rabid pig` about Baldoni, while Ryan Reynolds and others formed group chats criticizing him, and Colleen Hoover and Isabela Ferrer documented concerns in emails and depositions.
  • Taylor Swift was subpoenaed in connection with the case as filings circulated, while Isabela Ferrer, It Ends With Us star, opposed Baldoni's subpoena calling it `transparent efforts to exert pressure`.
  • Unsealed testimony suggests the evidence compiles eyewitness accounts and studio records from Sony/Wayfarer Studios that may influence public perception and the trial involving Taylor Swift and others.
