Blake Lively asked a judge to block Justin Baldoni from accessing her messages with Taylor Swift as their legal feud rages on.
Blake Lively filed a motion asking the court for a “protective order” to block Justin Baldoni from accessing her text messages with Taylor Swift as their nasty legal battle rages on.
The “Age of Adeline” star filed documents to New York judge Lewis J. Liman, who has presided over the case thus far, on Friday, alleging that the director and his team’s pursuit of her exchanges with the pop star are part of their long-planned “tactic” to leverage the singer and her fans.
According to documents obtained by Page Six, Lively claims that her communication with Swift is “not central” to her complaint against the actor and are “irrelevant” to his Wayfarer production company’s claims.
“Throughout litigation, and particularly over the past month, the Wayfarer Parties have repeatedly
used Ms. Swift’s name as part of their media strategy,” the letter reads.
As Baldoni’s team dropped their probe into Swift, 35, and Lively’s friendship, claiming that they obtained the details they wanted, Lively’s team claimed to the judge that a continued pursuit would be “duplicative, cumulative, and unnecessary.”
“Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties are still demanding access to Taylor Swift’s private communications—despite having already subpoenaed and then withdrawn that subpoena after they ‘got all they needed‘,” a spokesperson for Lively told Page Six of the new legal move.
