Justin Baldoni drags Taylor Swift into his legal battle with Blake Lively

In the recent complaint, Baldoni alleges that Reynolds and the famous singer Taylor Swift forced him to accept a rewritten version of Lively's “It Ends With Us” script.

Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have been at odds after the actress filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him after the two started filming.

Baldoni has shed more light on what may have gone on behind the scenes before he was able to bring Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel It Ends With Us to life on the big screen.

In a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, Baldoni, allege that the “Deadpool” actor and Taylor Swift pressured him to accept some of Lively's rewrites for the film.

Baldoni said that when the film reached pre-production, Lively allegedly asked to “take a pass” on the film's rooftop scene, where her character Lily Bloom first meets Baldoni's Ryle Kincaid.

According to People magazinethe actor noted that he was “reluctant” to let her “rewrite that key scene,” according to the complaint, but “agreed to look at what she had put together.”

Baldoni shared that Lively changed the script “dramatically” from its original form. After his “extremely mild resistance,” she “kept quiet for a few days” and later allegedly said in a text message that his reaction to her rewriting “didn't feel great to me” or to Reynolds and the person Baldoni describes as “another mega-celebrity friend.”

According to the news site, a text message he included in the application reveals that Swift was a “powerful and wealthy” celebrity friend of Baldoni.

Elsewhere in the 179-page complaint, Baldoni alleges Lively was seemingly unmoved when contacted to let her know she was being pressured by her A-list friends.

Baldoni notes that he was “summoned” to Reynolds and Lively's New York penthouse, where Swift arrived and began “praising Lively's script. Baldoni understood the subtext: He had to follow Lively's instructions on the script.”

He claimed he later texted the “Gossip Girl” alum that he liked her transformation and that he would have felt the same if it weren't for “Ryan and Taylor.”

However, Lively may have responded to his message by comparing herself to Game of Thrones character Haleys and saying that Reynolds and Swift are her two “dragons”.

A second alleged text from Lively included in the filing shows her comparing Swift and Reynolds to “Dance Moms-level moms.”

Lively apparently had a lot to say about the dragons fighting for her. The alleged texts showed her deeply comparing herself to the fictional “GOT” character and telling Baldoni how her “dragons” Swift and Reynolds protect her.

She told Baldoni: “If you ever watch Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi, and like her, I have a few dragons. Good or bad, but usually for the better. Because my dragons also protect those I care about.” fighting, so we'll all benefit from my awesome monsters, I can promise you.

“They are embarrassingly exhausting,” she added in the alleged texts, calling herself the “happiest female on the planet” for whom they are her supporters and “most trusted partners.”

She added: “I think they wanted you and me to see how they felt about (the rewrites) because they've been there for me too many times when I've been ignored.

Before filing the $400 million lawsuit, the 40-year-old actor handed documents to Marvel president Kevin Feige, Disney CEO Bob Iger and director Tim Mills about his client's “anticipated claims” against Reynolds, Lively and other unnamed people.

The letter demanded that studio executives retain “any and all documents relating to the development of the Nicepool character” and “communications relating to the development, writing and filming of the plot and scenes with Nicepool”.

On “The Megyn Kelly Show” on January 7, Baldoni's attorney, Brian Friedman, discussed Nicepool's image, claiming that Reynolds used it to mock his client.

“What Ryan Reynolds seems to have done is use his power and influence over Deadpool and make a mockery of Justin Baldoni,” Friedman said. Daily mail.

Baldoni's attorney, Brian Friedman, released a statement after his $400 million lawsuit, saying Lively would not win the court battle and would “regret” suing his client.

Friedman said: “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of undisputed evidence detailing a duplicitous attempt by Blake Lively and her team to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by spreading grossly redacted, unsubstantiated, new and unverified information . the media.”

The lawyer continued: “Based on our own willingness to provide all of the complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence shared between the parties in real time, it is clear that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret.”
