Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s decade long friendship has gone through a series of twists and turns since December 2024. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were often spotted hanging out together but since the It Ends With Us actress got involved in a legal drama with Justin Baldoni, the two have maintained distance after it also dragged in the pop star. But now, there are reports that Blake Lively “intimidated” Taylor Swift.

Blake Lively has been accused of “threatening” to release text messages exchanged with Taylor Swift but the actress strongly denies such accusations

Recently, Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, sent a letter to a New York judge regarding Taylor Swift being subpoenaed.
Apparently, the letter written by Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, accused Blake Lively of “threatening” Taylor Swift to delete text messages which were exchanged between the two.As per source, the letter read that a source has revealed that the It Ends With Us actress, Blake Lively “demanded a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively’s possession would be released."The letter added, "It is those communications that the Wayfarer Parties seek to obtain" as potential evidence of "an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation."However, it seems like Blake Lively’s lawyers were quick to deny such accusations made about the famous actress’ friendship with Blake Lively.
Blake Lively’s lawyer issued a statement to People that read as, "This is categorically false. We unequivocally deny all of these so-called allegations, which are cowardly sourced to supposed anonymous sources, and completely untethered from reality…”Shockingly, when Blake Lively’s attorneys attempted to strike Justin Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman’s letter, it was granted by the judge.
