Taylor Swift finds herself once again entangled in the ongoing legal drama surrounding the film “It Ends With Us.” Recent court documents obtained by People reveal new details about an incident that took place on April 25, 2023, at the New York penthouse of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. On that day, Reynolds reportedly confronted Justin Baldoni regarding accusations of “fat-shaming” directed at Lively.
According to the timeline of events revealed in the documents, Baldoni visited the couple’s apartment, where Reynolds allegedly expressed frustration over the insensitivity of Baldoni’s comments about Lively’s weight, describing them as “horrible” and accusing him of fat-shaming. The confrontation reportedly left Baldoni feeling embarrassed, and he is said to have shed some tears during the exchange. Notably, both Swift and Hugh Jackman were present during this confrontation.
A source previously indicated to TMZ that Swift and Baldoni had only met once, coincidentally crossing paths at the penthouse without prior knowledge of the unfolding situation. The source explained that Swift had walked in just as Baldoni was about to leave and was introduced to him for the first time.
This incident is not the first time Swift has been drawn into the legal disputes between Baldoni and Lively. In May, Swift was subpoenaed by Baldoni’s team, which raised the possibility of her testifying in court, though the subpoena was later withdrawn. Baldoni’s efforts to obtain Swift and Lively’s text messages related to the case also drew attention. More recently, a man was arrested for trespassing outside Travis Kelce’s home while attempting to serve Swift with deposition papers.
Swift’s representatives have previously emphasized that her involvement with the film is minimal, asserting that her only connection was the use of her song “My Tears Ricochet” in the soundtrack. They clarified that she was not involved in any casting decisions, did not work on the film’s score, and only saw the completed film weeks after its release. The spokesperson criticized the subpoena as an attempt to generate public interest through sensationalism rather than focusing on the substantive issues of the case.
In a noteworthy development, Baldoni’s $400 million countersuit against Lively was recently dismissed after his legal team failed to meet the filing deadline for an amended complaint. Meanwhile, Lively’s lawsuit remains active and is anticipated to go to trial in March 2026.
As this legal saga unfolds, it continues to attract significant media attention while highlighting the complexities of celebrity involvement in legal matters.
