Explosive: Blake Lively’s Texts to Taylor Swift Leaked Over Justin Baldoni Scandal
The whole thing blew up fast — one minute Hollywood was minding its business, and the next, private texts between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift about the Justin Baldoni scandal were splashed across the internet like someone kicked over a bucket of gasoline and lit a match. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s exactly the kind of behind‑the‑curtain chaos people pretend they don’t love. These messages weren’t meant for public eyes, but now that they’re out, the fallout is impossible to ignore.
A Legal Battle Turns Public
The texts surfaced after a federal judge denied Lively’s request to keep her conversations with Swift sealed during her lawsuit against Baldoni, her “It Ends With Us” co‑star and director. According to NBC News, the messages were released as part of a “long‑running legal dispute” involving allegations of misconduct and retaliation on set.
The unsealed messages show Lively venting to Swift about her frustrations with Baldoni during production. People reported that Lively referred to Baldoni as a “doofus” and “a clown” in the texts, expressing irritation with his behavior and decisions during filming.
Taylor Swift’s Blunt Reaction
While Blake’s comments were sharp, Swift’s were even more explosive. According to NBC News, Swift called Baldoni an expletive in one of the messages, a moment that quickly became the headline across entertainment outlets.
The reporting doesn’t print the exact word, but the tone is unmistakable: Swift was fed up on her friend’s behalf. The texts paint a picture of two women who are fiercely loyal to each other — and not afraid to speak plainly when the cameras aren’t rolling.
Blake Lively’s Frustrations Spill Out
The messages also reveal that Lively was juggling creative disagreements with Baldoni while trying to keep the production on track. According to People, she asked Swift to look over a revised script she had written, texting her friend while Baldoni was physically at her home during the process.
In one of the most widely quoted lines from the People report, Lively praised Swift as the “world’s absolute greatest friend ever” for stepping in to help her navigate the chaos. It’s a moment that underscores just how intertwined their personal and professional support systems have become.
The Scandal Behind the Screens
The Baldoni scandal isn’t just about harsh words in private texts — it’s tied to serious allegations. Lively’s lawsuit accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation during the production of “It Ends With Us,” claims he has denied. The texts don’t prove the allegations, but they do show the emotional toll the situation took on Lively.
The messages also reveal how much she leaned on Swift throughout the ordeal. While Swift is not a party to the lawsuit, her name has surfaced repeatedly in filings simply because she was one of the few people Lively confided in during the conflict.
A Friendship Under the Microscope
The public has long adored the friendship between Lively and Swift — two women known for their humor, loyalty, and refusal to play Hollywood’s fake‑nice game. These texts, though private, show that their bond is exactly what fans imagined: blunt, supportive, and deeply personal.
But the release of the messages also raises questions about privacy in legal disputes. Lively’s team fought to keep the texts sealed, arguing they were irrelevant to the case. The judge disagreed, and now the world has a front‑row seat to conversations that were never meant to be public.
Where Things Stand Now
As the lawsuit continues, the scandal surrounding Baldoni shows no signs of fading. The unsealed texts have added fuel to an already volatile situation, and both sides are preparing for the next phase of the legal battle.
What’s clear is that Lively and Swift’s friendship remains unshaken — if anything, the messages show how fiercely they protect each other when the pressure mounts.
And in Hollywood, where alliances shift like sand, that kind of loyalty is its own headline.
