\t\t<\/p>\n Justin Baldoni<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s lawyer is making a big Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>-related accusation, and Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s lawyer is responding.<\/p>\n Bryan Freedman<\/strong>, who represents Justin<\/strong> in the It Ends with Us<\/em> legal drama, is accusing Blake<\/strong>\u2018s team of trying to coerce Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n In a letter filed with the court (via THR<\/a>), Freedman <\/strong>reportedly wrote that Blake<\/strong>\u2018s team \u201cdemanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature\u201d would be revealed. Freedman <\/strong>further claims that a rep for Taylor <\/strong>\u201caddressed these inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats\u201d in at least one piece of written communication, and he wants to see any communication that was shared. They cited a source that was \u201chighly likely to have reliable information.\u201d<\/p>\n Blake<\/strong>\u2018s lawyer, Michael Gottlieb<\/strong>, is calling this \u201ccategorically false.\u201d <\/p>\n He shared, \u201cWe unequivocally deny all of these so-called allegations, which are cowardly sourced to supposed anonymous sources, and completely untethered from reality. This is what we have come to expect from the Wayfarer parties\u2019 lawyers, who appear to love nothing more than shooting first, without any evidence, and with no care for the people they are harming in the process. We will imminently file motions with the court to hold these attorneys accountable for their misconduct here.\u201d <\/p>\n Taylor <\/strong>was subpoenaed in the case by Justin<\/strong>\u2018s lawyer, and her rep publicly slammed him for dragging her into all of this.<\/a><\/p>\n In alleged text messages that were included in the lawsuits<\/a>, Justin<\/strong> implied that Blake <\/strong>had her husband Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> and BFF Taylor<\/strong> present at a meeting to voice support for her changes to the script. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
