Lawsuit Texts Reveal Taylor Swift Insulted Justin Baldoni

In a recent legal development, pop icon Taylor Swift has come under scrutiny for a text message where she referred to actor Justin Baldoni in unflattering terms. The messages were revealed as part of Blake Lively’s ongoing lawsuit against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios. This lawsuit, concerning Lively’s co-starring role in the upcoming film “It Ends With Us,” has unfolded over the past year.

Key Details of the Lawsuit

The unsealed messages were brought to light on December 4 and 5, 2024, during discussions between Swift and Lively. In these texts, Swift used strong language to describe Baldoni, stating, “I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.”

Background of the Legal Battle

• Date of Complaint: Lively initially filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on December 20, 2024.
• Federal Civil Lawsuit: Lively submitted a lawsuit against Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios on December 31, 2024.
• Amended Complaint: In February 2025, Lively filed an amended complaint without specifying a dollar amount but seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
• Baldoni’s Response: Baldoni countersued Lively for $400 million, but a federal judge dismissed this suit in November 2025.

Swift’s representatives confirmed her limited involvement with the film, asserting that she had only licensed a song for “It Ends With Us.” In the past, there were efforts to involve her as a witness in the case, but these requests did not materialize.

Reactions to the Allegations

Sigrid McCawley, part of Lively’s legal team, described the unsealed messages as revealing. She claimed they demonstrate a pattern of negative feedback from various individuals associated with Baldoni. Additionally, Baldoni’s publicist and legal representation have not publicly addressed the ongoing allegations.

Overview of “It Ends With Us”

“It Ends With Us” features Blake Lively as Lily Bloom, who relocates to Boston with aspirations of owning a flower shop. The film follows her marriage to Ryle Kincaid, portrayed by Baldoni, and delves into themes of domestic abuse and the difficult choices surrounding divorce.

As this legal situation continues to evolve, the tensions between these prominent figures in Hollywood remain in the spotlight.
