Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her co-star from Throw It If You Love Me, Justin Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a toxic atmosphere on set. New details about the case have emerged, revealing that pop star Taylor Swift is somehow involved.
Some information from Lively’s lawsuit has been made public by Fox News, including accusations that Baldoni allegedly planned to exploit Lively’s close relationship with Taylor Swift. According to the legal documents, a crisis management team hired by Baldoni, along with producer Jamie Hitt and others, had created a “Scenario Planning Document.” This document outlined three potential courses of action that Lively and her team could take in this situation. It also contained contingency plans for how Baldoni’s team would respond if Lively decided to “go public with her complaints.”
It’s important to note that rumors about tension between Lively and Baldoni on set had been circulating for months, intensifying during the film’s press tour, though neither star spoke out at the time. Lively’s attorney claims that Baldoni’s crisis PR manager, Melissa Nathan, circulated this document on August 2, 2024, “to promote misleading counterarguments.”
One of the strategies outlined in the document reportedly involved “examining stories about using feminism as a weapon” and alleging that people in Lively’s circle, including Taylor Swift, had used such tactics to “intimidate others into getting what they want.” Swift and Lively have been close friends for nearly a decade.
