Recent Developments in Taylor Swift and Justin Baldoni’s Legal Drama
In a twist reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space,” the famous singer found herself entangled in a legal saga involving Justin Baldoni.
Over 24 hours after Baldoni attempted to include Swift in his ongoing legal disputes with Blake Lively, a federal judge has ruled against any deposition involving the Eras Tour star.
Judge Delivers a Win for Lively
Judge Lewis Liman also provided a favorable outcome for Lively, granting her a 10-day extension for depositions related to Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios co-founders as the case moves towards its conclusion.
Opposition to Lively’s Request
In a recent order, the Wayfarer Parties opposed Lively’s request and sought an extension to schedule Swift’s deposition, claiming it’s necessary due to Swift’s existing professional commitments.
Complications in Scheduling Swift’s Deposition
The judge noted that the Wayfarer Parties have not substantiated their request for an extension, primarily citing Swift’s prior commitments as a scheduling conflict. Discovery has been ongoing for about six months, leading to scrutiny of the validity of their claims.
Silence from Baldoni’s Camp
After the judge’s ruling, lawyers for both Lively and Swift contradicted Baldoni’s claims regarding Swift’s supposed agreement to be deposed, and there was notable silence from Baldoni’s representatives following the judgment.
As the trial date approaches, Lively’s action against Baldoni and Wayfarer looms, and it’s uncertain if this situation with Swift will resolve soon. The dynamics surrounding Swift’s potential involvement continue to evolve amidst ongoing media attention and accusations against Baldoni.
