Justin Baldoni’s legal team is accusing Blake Lively’s lawyers of trying to extort Taylor Swift by pressuring her to publicly support Lively in a legal dispute. According to a court letter from Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, Lively’s lawyer allegedly contacted Swift’s legal team and threatened to leak personal text messages unless Swift issued a statement backing Lively. Swift’s representatives reportedly pushed back against the threats in writing. Baldoni’s team is now seeking access to those communications to support claims that Lively is trying to intimidate and coerce witnesses. Further specifics remain undisclosed.
