Taylor Swift Reenters ‘It Ends With Us’ Legal Dispute
Taylor Swift has once again found herself entangled in the ongoing legal issues surrounding the film “It Ends With Us.” Recent court documents revealed that she and Hugh Jackman were present during a confrontation between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on April 25, 2023.
Details of the Confrontation
The incident occurred in the New York penthouse owned by Lively and Reynolds. Reports indicate that Reynolds confronted Justin Baldoni, addressing accusations of “fat-shaming” directed at Lively. This altercation was documented in a timeline shared by Jamey Heath, co-founder of Baldoni’s production studio.
According to the documents, during the confrontation, Reynolds expressed his disapproval of Baldoni’s remarks about Lively’s weight. Baldoni reportedly felt embarrassed and even shed tears during the exchange. Both Swift and Jackman witnessed the event.
Swift’s Involvement in the Case
- Swift and Baldoni met once at the penthouse without prior knowledge of the circumstances.
- A source disclosed that Swift believed their meeting was deliberately arranged.
- Swift’s only connection to the film is through her song “My Tears Ricochet,” featured in its soundtrack.
The ongoing legal drama has seen Swift’s name mentioned before. In May, Baldoni’s team attempted to subpoena her, which raised concerns about her potential court testimony. However, this move was quickly withdrawn. Later, Baldoni sought access to text messages exchanged between Swift and Lively.
Recent Developments
Earlier this month, a $400 million countersuit filed by Baldoni against Lively was dismissed due to a missed deadline for an amended complaint. Meanwhile, Lively’s lawsuit is proceeding and is scheduled for trial in March 2026.
Swift’s representatives have distanced her from the legal battle, stating she was not involved in the film’s production and had no say in its creative aspects. They criticized Baldoni’s legal maneuvers, suggesting they were merely efforts to generate publicity by associating her name with the case.
