In a dramatic turn of events, Taylor Swift has reportedly distanced herself from actress Blake Lively, amidst Lively's ongoing legal dispute with actor and director Justin Baldoni. Sources close to the situation suggest that Swift has ceased communication with Lively, following allegations that Lively attempted to involve Swift in her legal troubles.
The rift reportedly began when Lively allegedly threatened to reveal private information about Swift if she didn't publicly support Lively's case against Baldoni. This led to Swift's father, Scott Swift, intervening to protect his daughter's reputation.
Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni, which Baldoni has countered with a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Baldoni alleges that Lively's claims are fabricated and that she used her relationship with Swift as a tactic.
The situation has reportedly escalated, with Lively reaching out to Swift through various channels, including texts, voicemails, and emails, in an attempt to mend their friendship. However, Swift has reportedly ignored these attempts.
Adding to Lively's woes, other celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, have reportedly distanced themselves from her. Hadid, who is known to be close to Swift, apparently did not invite Blake to her recent birthday celebration.
As the legal battle continues, Lively has reportedly dropped her 'emotional distress' claim against Baldoni, possibly to avoid disclosing sensitive medical records. The situation has led to speculation about the potential impact on Swift's future creative work.
