The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni is not only affecting the duo of It Ends With Us but also those it has splashed and their relationships. The stars of Breaking the Circle are still at odds in a lawsuit that has even involved Taylor Swift, and now has caused friction in the friendship that the singer maintains with the actress.
The American singer has been making headlines in recent weeks, and those close to her say that she is not happy at all after getting involved in the legal battle between her friend and the director.
Issues between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively due to their legal battle?
Baldoni included Swift's name in his 400 million euro lawsuit against Blake Lively, and now sources close to the singer have stated that Taylor would be upset about this situation. "Taylor really wishes that Blake had not dragged her into all this. They have been friends for years and Taylor appreciates their friendship, but she can't help but feel used," a source close to Page Six said.
In his lawsuit, Justin Baldoni included some documents in which the conversation he had with Blake can be read. The actor recounts that the actress invited him to her New York penthouse to go over the script and suggest some modifications, and upon arriving, he found that Ryan Reynolds himself was present, as well as a person “very famous and very close” to the couple. Although the identity of that person is not revealed at first, the name “Taylor” does appear in the lawsuit.
"I trust them the most and they are the first people I turn to with any creative issue. And I am the person they turn to first. That mutual creativity and support have been one of the greatest and most rewarding gifts of my life," says the former Gossip Girl star, who refers to them as her "dragons." "If you ever watch Game of Thrones, you will realize that I am Khaleesi and, like her, I have some dragons," she said referring to her husband (Ryan Reynolds) and her friend. "My dragons also protect those I fight for. So we all really benefit from my precious monsters."
Apparently, the music diva “does not like to be referred to as one of her dragons” and feels resentful for “taking advantage of her name”. Furthermore, a source close to Taylor has told TMZ that she arrived at Blake’s apartment without knowing they were going to have a movie meeting and that it caught her completely by surprise, as she “had no idea” that Baldoni would be there.
