But more on this controversial legal battle later.\n\n
\n
Taylor Swift's explosive reaction\n
\n
\n Taylor Swift allegedly called Justin Baldoni a \"bitch\" in a text message to Blake Lively. The pop sensation allegedly wrote in December 2024- \"I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.\"\n
\n
\n As per reports that have surfaced online, while Lively's lawyers don't dispute that the \"quoted language appears in the cited source,\" they say it \"does not support Defendants’ assertion\" that Lively and Swift \"privately discussed the forthcoming New York Times article\" that broke the news of the legal battle when it was published Dec. 21, 2024.\n\n
\n
What Justin Baldoni said \n\n
\n
\n “I’m actually doing wonderful,” Baldoni said, adding that he was “very grateful,” “very positive” and feeling “a lot of love.” The TMZ reporter then hinted that Baldoni seems “to be taking the high road” in his fight against Lively, Baldoni replied “that’s what we always try to do.”\n

Baldoni's case against Blake Lively

\n
\n Baldoni and Lively’s legal showdown began in December 2024 after the release of ‘It Ends With Us’ when Lively accused her costar, Baldoni, of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and coordinating with a crisis PR team to launch a smear campaign against her, while Baldoni denied the claims.\n\n
\n
\n Baldoni then proceeded to countersue Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, accusing the couple of extortion and defamation, but that lawsuit was dismissed in June. Lively’s lawsuit is still in process, and she and Baldoni are headed to trial in May 2026.","readDurationInMinutes":"3","author":{"name":"Firstpost","logo":"https://glance-mob.glance-cdn.com/public/bubble/png/28d65284-7c7e-4e74-a1da-84b4daef1e4c.jpeg"},"ism":false,"analyticsResponses":[{"measurementId":"DUMMy","type":"GA"}],"pointerSummary":["Justin Baldoni countersued Blake Lively for defamation after her harassment claims.","Taylor Swift allegedly texted Blake Lively calling Baldoni a \"bitch.\"","Baldoni denies Lively's claims; trial set for May 2026."],"tags":["TaylorSwift","BlakeLively","JustinBaldoni","ItEndsWithUs","LegalBattle","SexualHarassment","Defamation","RyanReynolds","Lawsuit","CelebrityGossip","TMZ","Hollywood","NewYorkTimes","Trial","Extortion"],"redirectionEnabled":false,"consent":true}
