LEAKED Footage EXPOSES Blake Lively’s Scheme —Used Taylor Swift to Sabotage Justin Baldoni?!

The drama surrounding the upcoming film It Ends With Us has taken a shocking turn—and Blake Lively is at the center of it all.

What started as a seemingly exciting adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel has devolved into a full-blown legal war.

And now, with leaked footage and internal texts made public, it appears that Lively didn’t just act in the film—she allegedly hijacked it, using her close ties to Taylor Swift and husband Ryan Reynolds to seize control of the production and eliminate the film’s original director and

producer, Justin Baldoni.

The controversy first erupted after Baldoni was quietly sidelined from press tours and excluded from promotional events—even being banished to the basement during the film’s premiere, despite the fact that his production company secured the rights to the movie and he was its

original director.

This wasn’t a minor scheduling issue—it was a calculated move, according to Baldoni’s team, who has since filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and their PR team.

And that’s just the beginning.

In a recent podcast appearance, Baldoni opened up about the emotional toll the entire situation has taken on him, revealing that he was blindsided by the way Lively allegedly turned the project into her personal power play.

He claims she demanded solo access to the editing room, stalled the release of promotional materials, and even used Swift’s music as a bargaining chip—threatening to withhold it unless her creative demands were met.

Then came the footage.

In one clip, Lively herself admits that Taylor Swift was “with her” throughout the entire filming process, implying a deep level of involvement.

“She really lived this with me,” Lively says, referring to Swift, raising serious questions about the singer’s behind-the-scenes influence.

That single admission has sparked massive backlash, with fans and legal analysts alike questioning whether Swift’s brand was used—knowingly or not—to bully Baldoni out of his own movie.

Baldoni’s lawsuit goes even further, presenting private text messages in which Lively reportedly referred to herself as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones—with Swift and Reynolds as her “dragons.

” In the texts, Lively allegedly bragged that Ryan and Taylor could get anything done because “everyone listens to them with immense respect and enthusiasm.

” It was a not-so-subtle nod to the power dynamic at play, and critics argue it paints a chilling portrait of a celebrity clique steamrolling anyone in their path.

Even more disturbing, Baldoni claims that Reynolds and Swift attended a rooftop meeting at Lively’s penthouse, where he was heavily pressured to accept her script rewrites.

Though they didn’t issue direct commands, Baldoni says their presence and tone made it clear that he had no real choice.

One leaked message from Baldoni to Lively says, “I really love what you did,” but he follows it up with, “I would have felt that way without Ryan and Taylor”—a clear suggestion that their influence tainted his creative freedom.

To make matters worse, the drama isn’t just about creative control.

It’s also about alleged abuse of power, harassment accusations, and a trail of PR destruction.

Lively originally filed a complaint against Baldoni for creating a “hostile work environment,” but his team quickly countersued, accusing her of orchestrating a smear campaign that included falsified narratives and coordinated media attacks.

One of the most chilling revelations comes from internal messages between Baldoni’s former publicist and crisis manager.

When discussing how to respond to Lively’s accusations, one said, “He wants to feel like she can be buried,” to which the other replied, “You know we can bury anyone.

” These aren’t just petty arguments—this is Hollywood warfare, and it’s being fought in boardrooms, inboxes, and now courtrooms.

Adding fuel to the fire, Baldoni has also accused Lively of forcing Sony to fire the film’s original composer—allegedly at Swift’s request.

The reason? The composer had a prior falling-out with Swift, and Lively allegedly implied that using her friend’s music in the film would only be possible if that composer was removed.

Sony, desperate to keep Swift’s coveted track “My Tears Ricochet” in the film, caved.

The result? An unprecedented industry shake-up driven not by artistic vision, but by celebrity favoritism.

Swift, for her part, has remained publicly silent, reportedly distancing herself from the chaos.

She’s made no comments endorsing the film, and her usual vocal support for friends’ projects is conspicuously absent this time around.

Sources close to her say she feels “used” by Lively and is trying to quietly back away from the situation.

But the damage may already be done.

With whispers that Swift could be subpoenaed, her name is now firmly attached to the growing scandal.

And let’s not forget the $7 million defamation lawsuit filed by Jed Wallace, a PR executive who claims Lively falsely implicated him in the alleged smear campaign against her.

It’s lawsuit after lawsuit, allegation after allegation—each one chipping away at Lively’s once-golden image.

The chaos mirrors the infamous Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial, where careers, reputations, and personal histories were dragged into the spotlight.

Like Heard, Lively now faces intense public scrutiny, with social media turning sharply against her.

Clips of her awkward or insensitive interview moments have resurfaced.

Her fashion choices for the film—high-end florals in a role meant to portray a domestic abuse survivor—have been criticized as tone-deaf.

Her promotion of personal brands like her liquor line during the press tour has only made things worse.

Despite all the drama, It Ends With Us is still scheduled for release, though the film’s original vision has reportedly been overwritten by Lively’s creative control.

Test audiences allegedly preferred Baldoni’s cut, but his version may never see the light of day.

With court dates looming in 2026 and a website releasing all the evidence publicly—including hundreds of emails, texts, and behind-the-scenes receipts—this scandal isn’t going anywhere.

The public will soon get a front-row seat to the real story behind one of Hollywood’s ugliest behind-he-scenes power plays.

If the allegations are true, Blake Lively didn’t just rewrite a script—she rewrote the rules of Hollywood hierarchy, using fame, friendship, and influence as weapons.

Now the world is watching to see if she’ll be the heroine of this story—or its ultimate villain.
