In a twist that could rival any Hollywood drama, Blake Lively’s upcoming legal battle against Justin Baldoni is being complicated by some recently leaked text messages. These messages exchanged with Taylor Swift and other Hollywood peers may end up undermining Lively’s claims of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while filming their movie,“It Ends With Us.”Legal experts are raising eyebrows, suggesting that her conversations could be interpreted to contradict her allegations against Baldoni.
Rachael Bennett, a senior lawyer, notes the complexity of the case, citing multiple claims from Lively, including a purported smear campaign targeting her reputation. With the trial just around the corner in May 2026, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Lively be able to make her case in light of these text messages, or will the tables turn in Baldoni’s favor? Only time will tell, but the anticipation around this trial is electric, and who knew a few texts could cause such a stir?
