Taylor Swift Caught in Legal Storm Over Sexual Harassment Allegations
The ongoing legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively has taken a dramatic turn, as the lawsuit over sexual harassment allegations tied to the release of It Ends With Us now mentions Taylor Swift.
The Accusations Unfold
According to reports, Baldoni has accused Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of wresting control of the film and tarnishing his reputation with false allegations of sexual harassment. In this high-stakes case, Baldoni is seeking a staggering $400 million in damages. While Taylor Swift is not named as a defendant, her name surfaces in key exchanges cited in the 179-page court filing.
Texts That Sparked Controversy
One notable element in the lawsuit involves text messages between Baldoni and Lively, highlighted on pages 23-25 of the filing. The texts focus on a rooftop scene in the film that Lively allegedly reworked in the script.

Baldoni’s lawyers claim he felt “pressured” to compliment the changes, as he feared backlash from Lively and her influential friends, including Taylor Swift. In the quoted text, Baldoni wrote:
“Today during the rooftop scene, I really loved the way you reworked it. It was effective, making the scene lighter and more engaging. (I’d enjoy it even more if Ryan and Taylor weren’t hovering.) You truly are a multi-talented artist.”
A Private Meeting with High-Profile Names
The filing alleges that Lively later invited Baldoni to her New York penthouse, where Reynolds and a “superstar friend”—presumably Taylor Swift—were also present. There, the group reportedly lauded Lively’s version of the scene, further amplifying Baldoni’s claims that he was being gradually sidelined.
Responding to Baldoni’s text, Lively allegedly praised Reynolds and another unnamed individual as “phenomenal writers and storytellers beyond their primary expertise.” The exchange ended with Lively likening herself to Khaleesi, the dragon queen from Game of Thrones, suggesting her immense power in the situation.
Lively wrote:
“If you’ve watched Game of Thrones, you’ll see me as Khaleesi, and like her, I happen to have a few dragons at my disposal. They can be good or bad, but they’re mostly good. Because those dragons protect the things I fight for. So really, we all benefit from my beautiful beasts. You will too, I promise that.”
The Weight of the Allegations
Baldoni’s complaint claims this message was a thinly veiled threat, highlighting Lively’s use of her “dragons” to pressure him. The filing states:
“The message was unmistakable. Baldoni wasn’t just contending with Lively—he was also up against her ‘dragons,’ two of the world’s most powerful and influential celebrities who would not hesitate to make life difficult for my client.”
The Bigger Picture
As this case continues to unravel, the involvement of names like Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds only adds more intrigue to an already explosive narrative. Whether Baldoni’s claims hold up in court remains to be seen, but the stakes couldn’t be higher for all parties involved.
Stay tuned as this high-profile case develops, with Hollywood’s biggest names entangled in a web of allegations, influence, and power.
