A judge ruled that Blake Lively must hand over text messages with Taylor Swift to Justin Baldoni as part of their ongoing legal battle. Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others, was dismissed, but the judge determined that the requested messages are relevant to Lively's harassment and retaliation claims against Baldoni. Lively's team previously argued the request was a PR tactic, but the judge disagreed. The messages relate to the working environment on the set of 'It Ends With Us', which Baldoni directed.
