On June 19, 2025, a judge ruled that Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer company can seek communications between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively regarding the ongoing It Ends With Us dispute, escalating the legal feud involving Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Baldoni.
The judge rejected Lively’s request to block Baldoni’s access to her messages with Swift, stating they may be relevant to allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. Per People, a protective order ensures confidentiality, countering Lively’s concerns about public leaks.
