Blake Lively's Legal Drama: Ryan Reynolds, 8 Lawyers, and a Missing Taylor Swift

SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: BLAKE LIVELY'S BOMBSHELL DEPOSITION EXPOSED

The drama unfolding between Hollywood's A-listers just got juicier! Blake Lively, 37, arrived at a New York courthouse yesterday with an entourage fit for royalty - her sister and best friend Robyn, husband Ryan Reynolds, and a whopping EIGHT lawyers. The actress was there to give evidence under oath in a high-stakes lawsuit against former co-star Justin Baldoni, who she claims sexually harassed her on set.

The bombshell deposition comes after Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni last December, alleging that he orchestrated a negative media campaign against her and even went so far as to nuzzle her neck and comment on the way she smelled during a scene. But footage obtained later seemed to prove otherwise: the microphones were indeed on, and the two stars had been happily chatting about their spouses.

But Lively's claims of harassment have not gone unchallenged. Baldoni's team has fired back with accusations that Lively edited texts between his publicists and hers to remove context and make it seem like a coordinated smear campaign. And in a shocking twist, even Taylor Swift - once Lively's BFF and godmother to three of her four children - is said to be appalled at being dragged into the mess.

Sources close to the deposition reveal that Lively was accompanied by her family members when she arrived at the courthouse, but they were not present during the questioning. Instead, she faced off against Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's feared lawyer. Witnesses described Lively as "confident" and "composed" as she entered the offices of Wilkie Farr Gallagher.

But what really has tongues wagging is the revelation that Lively's older half-sister Robyn was with her when she arrived at the courthouse. And don't even get us started on Ryan Reynolds - he's not only standing by his wife but also being dragged into the lawsuit himself.

The drama between Lively and Baldoni has been unfolding for months, with each side trading blows in a very public game of cat-and-mouse. But what we're learning now is that even Taylor Swift got caught up in the crossfire. According to sources, Swift was asked to surrender text messages with Lively - but she refused.

As it turns out, Swift and Lively haven't spoken in months, with sources suggesting that Swift was "appalled" at being dragged into the lawsuit. And it's not hard to see why: Baldoni's team has accused Lively of trying to manipulate the narrative and make Swift seem like a willing participant in her PR campaign.

But here's the thing: Lively's lawyers are not having it. They've subpoenaed 107 content creators who have circulated negative stories about Lively, claiming that they were part of a coordinated smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni's team. And get this - Lively's lawyers claim that these content creators say the stories "arose organically" due to Lively's behavior on the press tour for This Ends With Us.

But we all know how the saying goes: when it rains, it pours. And in this case, it seems like the drama is only just getting started. There will be further depositions before the case comes to trial in March next year - and one thing's for sure: we can't wait to see what other secrets are revealed.

UPDATE: In a shocking twist, Lively claimed "vindication" last month after a New York judge tossed out almost all of Baldoni's $400m countersuit against the actress and her husband. But don't expect this drama to be over anytime soon - we've got a long way to go before this case is settled once and for all. Stay tuned, folks!
