Lively initially sued Baldoni for sexual harassment and enacting a smear campaign against her following her work on <em>It Ends With Us.</em> Baldoni says the allegations are false and accuses Lively and Ryan Reynolds of destroying his career. As for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-hates-blake-lively-mentioned-lawsuit-justin-baldoni-source-says.html/”>Swift, she’s now caught in the middle</a>. Sources now say she will be subpoenaed and likely deposed in the case. </p>

<p id=”par-2_59″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/blake-lively-spends-time-taylor-swift-fearing-end-career-source-says.html/”>Taylor Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively</a> could drag her into Lively’s court case against Justin Baldoni. Lively and Baldoni have been legally going at it for months following their work on <em>It Ends With Us.</em> Texts from Lively to Baldoni show her referring to Swift and Ryan Reynolds as her “dragons” who will protect her at all costs. </p>
<p id=”par-3_61″>“If you ever get around to watching <em>Game Of Thrones</em>, you’ll appreciate I’m Khaleesi, and, like her, I happen to have a few dragons,” Lively’s texts read. “For better or worse, but usually for better. Because my dragons also protect those I fight for. So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will too, I can promise you.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_32″>Additional reports suggest Swift and Baldoni crossed paths when Swift visited Lively at her home following Lively’s two-hour meeting with Baldoni. Swift allegedly didn’t know Baldoni was going to be there. </p>
<p id=”par-5_39″>Baldoni discusses Swift in his legal filing. According to him, Lively brought Swift to a meeting about changes in the <em>It Ends With Us </em>script. Baldoni claimed Lively wanted to use Swift’s presence to “intimidate” him into compliance. </p>
<p id=”par-6_52″>Fans following the case wondered if Swift would get subpoenaed and questioned after Lively and Baldoni’s references to her. An insider close to the legal battle told <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14453113/taylor-swift-subpoenaed-blake-lively-justin-baldoni-questioned-oath.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>DailyMail.com</a> that Swift received a subpoena from Baldoni’s team. Swift will allegedly be questioned under oath as part of the first group of potential witnesses.</p>
<p id=”par-7_27″>Jenny Slate and Isabela Ferrer also allegedly made it on to the witness list, as did senior staff at the talent agency WME and Sony executives. </p>

<p id=”par-8_37″>Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively’s legal teams want the full story. Therefore, anyone with relevant knowledge or evidence will likely receive a subpoena. Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, previously spoke on <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ9S8sChHtM” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a>’s <em>Two Angry Men</em> podcast about possibly subpoenaing Taylor Swift.</p>
<p id=”par-9_46″>“I don’t know that we’re going to depose Taylor Swift or not,” Freedman said. “I think that that’s gonna be probably a game-time decision. … Anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is going to be deposed. I mean, for sure.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_53″>However, another insider previously told <a href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-swift-had-no-creative-involvement-in-it-ends-with-us/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a> that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-not-relevant-blake-lively-justin-baldonis-case-possibility-subpoena-source-says.html/”>Swift doesn’t have any knowledge of the lawsuits</a>. “Taylor has always been Blake’s friend, but Taylor doesn’t have any involvement in the case,” the source explained. “She wasn’t part of the movie. Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.”</p>
