Exposed: Blake Lively's Private Texts With Taylor Swift to Be Unveiled

Blake Lively has suffered another setback in her epic legal battle with Justin Baldoni

BOMBSHELL REVEALED: Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's Tumultuous Friendship Implodes as Justin Baldoni's Legal Team Scores a Major Victory in Their Epic Battle

TheScholarlyNote.com has exclusively learned that Blake Lively, 37, has suffered another devastating blow in her highly publicized legal battle with Justin Baldoni, 41. In a shocking turn of events, a New York judge has denied Lively's request for a protective order covering her communications with erstwhile bestie Taylor Swift, 35.

As the drama unfolds, it appears that Lively's lawyers have been trying to intimidate Swift into issuing a public statement in support of their client. But Baldoni's team isn't buying it! They've obtained a tranche of messages exchanged between the pair, and now they'll get to peruse them all as part of their discovery phase.

The cat is out of the bag, folks! Lively's lawyers had allegedly attempted to "coerce" Swift into releasing a statement supporting their client. But Scott Swift, Taylor's dad and financial advisor, has come to her rescue by voluntarily handing over the information Baldoni's team was seeking in exchange for them withdrawing their subpoena against his daughter.

THE REAL SCOOP

This latest development is just another twist in the long-running saga between Lively and Baldoni. Remember when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign against her? Yeah, well, he hit back with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds of defamation.

But what's really got everyone talking is the alleged "blackmail" attempt by Lively's lawyers. They allegedly demanded that Swift release a statement in support of their client, threatening to release private text messages if she refused. Talk about playing dirty!

TAILORED TO EXCITEMENT

And did you know that Baldoni's team has screenshots of alleged text messages where Lively refers to herself as the character Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and Swift as one of her "dragons"? Mind. Blown.

It seems like Swift was at a meeting at Lively's New York penthouse to discuss script changes for It Ends With Us, but sources close to the pop star claim she had no idea what was going on and just showed up to find it underway. Talk about feeling exploited!

FRIENDS TURNED FOES

It's clear that Swift feels betrayed by her longtime friend Lively. And who can blame her? After all, Scott Swift has been a rock for his daughter throughout this ordeal.

In a statement released to TheScholarlyNote.com, a spokesman for Lively accused Baldoni's lawyers of repeatedly trying to drag Swift into the case and exploiting her popularity. "The Court outright denied our motion to compel documents from Ms. Lively, who has produced far more documents in this case than the Wayfarer Parties combined," the statement read.

GIGI HADID TAKES A STAND

In a surprising move, supermodel Gigi Hadid has reportedly "iced out" Lively in solidarity with Swift. And let's not forget NFL star Travis Kelce, who recently unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram while backing his girlfriend Taylor.
