The trial between the two main actors of the film "It Ends With Us" continues and other names have become part of the case.
According to documents obtained by Page Six, actress Blake Lively describes Justin Baldoni, her director and co-star in the film "It Ends With Us," as "the stupid director of my movie" in several messages to Taylor Swift.
According to the claims of the actor's lawyers, in April 2023 the actress asked Taylor Swift to support changes she had made to the film's script, without reading them first.
Court documents showed that Taylor Swift immediately complied with her request, even writing to her:
"I will do anything for you!"
According to the documents, after the singer supported her friend's script during a meeting with Justin Baldoni at the actress's apartment, the latter sent Taylor Swift a message praising her for her intervention, calling Justin Baldoni a "clown" and saying that he "fell into a trap."
"You were incredibly heroic today! I told Ryan (husband) every moment. I kept remembering things. You making things up about me and the lenses and referring to yourself as 'my doll'. This clown fell for it, even though he was trying to resist. You are absolutely the best friend in the world."
The messages the pair exchanged about the actor were endless, Taylor Swift even suggested that Justin Baldoni was unwise when he chose to use her song "My Tears Ricochet" in the film "It Ends With Us".
According to her, using this song gave power to Blake Lively and not to him.
"You're so right… He shouldn't have used your song… How stupid. This was his only chance to give the impression that control was in his hands."
In December 2024, shortly before the publication of the New York Times article alleging that Justin Baldoni had waged a smear campaign against Blake Lively, the singer sent a message to the actress, writing:
"I believe this idiot knows something is coming, so he's started playing the victim!"
In the actress's response, also included in court documents, she denied allegations that she had discussed the New York Times article with Taylor Swift beforehand. She even said that she had not asked the singer to support changes to the script without reading them.
Among other things, the actor's lawyers claim that Blake Lively had insulted their client in front of other actors like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Representatives for the two actors and singer Taylor Swift have not yet responded to Page Six's request for comment on the new details about the trial.
Taylor Swift was first involved in the conflict between the actors in January 2025, when Justin Baldoni filed a countersuit against Blake Lively.
A few months later, Taylor Swift's representative publicly distanced herself from the film "It Ends With Us" and the legal drama surrounding it, stating that the singer had not been involved in the creative process of the film and had not even seen it until after its official release.
