Taylor Swift was nearly implicated in Blake Lively’s lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.<\/h2>\n

Taylor Swift\u00a0almost got involved in\u00a0Blake Lively\u2019s legal\u00a0lawsuit\u00a0against her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. In a surprising twist, the actress discovered that her best friend of a decade was somehow allegedly connected and narrowly escaped having bad blood with her.<\/p>\n

Last week the Gossip Girl actor filed a lawsuit against Baldoni where she accused him of sexual harassment and carrying out a smear campaign against him.<\/p>\n

Claims against Swift in the lawsuit<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The New York Times published an expos\u00e9 on December 20 which revealed allegations of slanderous actions against Lively which were allegedly orchestrated by Baldoni and his associates. The legal paperwork allegedly suggested that Swift was specifically mentioned in a “scenario planning document” created by Baldoni\u2019s PR team at TAG PR, which was managed by crisis communication expert Melissa Nathan.<\/p>\n

The official complaint read, \u201cThe Scenario Planning document states that TAG could ‘also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people in [Lively’s] circle like Taylor Swift, have been accused of utilizing these tactics to ‘bully’ into getting what they want,\u201d as reported by Daily Express US.<\/p>\n

However, Baldoni\u2019s lawyers have strongly denied the allegations and have labelled the lawsuit as \u201cshameful\u201d and the allegations \u201ccategorically false accusations.\u201d<\/p>\n

PR concerns around Swift\u2019s influence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The legal documents revealed that Baldoni was \u201cnot in love\u201d with the plan suggested by the PR team and did not feel protected. Thus he took his concerns to another public relations executive and the film\u2019s studio producer.<\/p>\n

The document also included texts where allegedly Nathan mentioned Lively\u2019s celebrity ties with Swift. It read, \u201cWe have seen the most innocuous issues turn giant due to socials or the hugest crisis has no effects on social whatsoever – you just cannot tell at this stage. But, [Lively] does have some of the [Swift] fanbase, so we will be taking it extremely seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathan reassured Baldoni that plans will be crafted carefully keeping Swift\u2019s influence in mind. Meanwhile, an important shareholder of TAG PR is connected to Scooter Braun who previously made headlines for acquiring the Bland Space singer\u2019s songs which were worth around $300 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
