Justin Baldoni's attempt to depose Taylor Swift in his sexual harassment lawsuit against Blake Lively has been met with resistance. Lively's lawyers argue that Baldoni's request lacks evidence and good cause, accusing him of using Swift's deposition for a media strategy. The request comes weeks after the discovery period ended, and Lively's lawyers claim Baldoni's team contacted Swift's counsel only recently. The judge will decide whether to grant the deposition and extension, with the trial set for March 2026. Swift's involvement stems from her connection to the case, including her song in the film and being mentioned in Baldoni's crisis PR plan.
