Justin Baldoni wins access to Swift and Lively's texts
Justin Baldoni, who directs "It Ends With Us," now has court permission to see text messages between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively about the film.
A US judge ruled these texts are key to investigating Lively's claims of harassment and retaliation tied to the movie.
Only messages directly related to the film or legal dispute will be shared.
TL;DR
Lively accused Baldoni of harassment; he countersued mentioning Swift
The drama began when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, which led him to countersue and mention Swift.
Baldoni argued that Lively brought in Swift and Ryan Reynolds's influence during talks, even calling them "dragons."
Lively's team tried offering other documents instead of the texts, but Baldoni's lawyers said no.
So far, neither Swift nor Lively has commented on this latest court twist.
