Blake Lively allegedly threatened to leak embarrassing private texts from bestie Taylor Swift unless the pop star agreed to publicly back the actress in her feud with co-star Justin Baldoni, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The explosive revelation appears in a legal letter filed Wednesday by Baldoni’s lawyers, in response to Lively’s request to quash their subpoena to the singer.
The court filing alleges that the Gossip Girl alum had tried to pressure Swift, 35, to issue a public statement in support of her and urged her to delete text messages between them during.
Her escalating legal battle with Baldoni, 41 — a move some experts say could carry serious legal liability, including potential claims of evidence tampering under civil litigation laws.
Freedman argued that it aims to obtain information “relating to witness tampering and evidence spoliation” — specifically that Lively had attempted to “coerce” Swift into publicly siding with her.
According to the letter, Baldoni’s attorneys received information that “(i) Ms. Lively requested that Taylor Swift delete their text messages” — which, according to inside sources, may have contained.
