The ongoing legal battle between the co-stars of the hit movie It Ends With Us is not over yet.
Justin Baldoni recently added a new twist to the matter after sharing celeb names inside court papers.
His legal team pushed back against Lively’s effort to get rid of high-profile people like Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds from the official court record as possible witnesses in this case.
The actor and director argued that such names are important to his defense and how Lively’s attempt to redact them is more about safeguarding reputations than a legit legal basis.
Baldoni countersued and claimed reputational harm. Reynolds and Swift, who are both long-term pals of Lively’s, were both mentioned in the filing with details of behind-the-scenes interactions and discussions during the movie’s production. He put special emphasis on how Lively has called out her partner as an innocent third party.
