In a stunning pivot, Justin Baldoni and his legal team have officially dropped the subpoena against Taylor Swift, withdrawing her from the legal battle involving Blake Lively.
According to Page Six, the decision came after Baldoni’s attorneys “secured the information they sought.” A source enigmatically added: “When information is voluntarily received, there is no need for subpoenas.”
📃 What Happened?
- Baldoni initially accused Swift of influencing a script rewrite on It Ends With Us.
- His attorney, Bryan Freedman, alleged that Swift was used by Lively to gain power on set.
- Court documents even described Swift and Reynolds as “dragons” guarding Lively.
“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie… she did not see the film until weeks after public release.”
— Swift’s spokesperson
⚖️ Lively Responds
Lively’s team reacted strongly, stating:
“We are pleased Baldoni and Wayfarer dropped their harassing subpoenas… Taylor’s team did the right thing seeking to quash it.”
— Lively’s legal team
They further criticized the legal tactics as a “desperate and baseless” attempt to drag a third party into a personal battle.
🎙️ Page Six Radio Coverage
The legal drama was dissected in-depth during a recent episode of Page Six Radio on SiriusXM Stars. Listeners were captivated by metaphors, allegations, and revelations—like Swift being described as an “unwilling shield” in Baldoni’s $400M case.
Ultimately, the judge ruled that many of Freedman’s submissions were inadmissible. With the subpoena withdrawn and Swift cleared of involvement, focus returns to the primary dispute between Baldoni and Lively.
Neither Swift nor Kelce’s reps have offered further comment. The saga continues…
