Legal Letter Points to Threats Over Private Texts
In a court letter that was submitted this week by the legal team of ‘It Ends with Us’star and director Justin Baldoni for his ongoing battle with co-star Lively, the actress supposedly attempted to intimidate Swift into publicly supporting her by threatening to release sensitive and private text messages sent over the years, reported Daily Mail.
Baldoni’s lead attorney, Bryan Freedman, had also submitted his sworn affidavit that mentioned that a source “very close” to Swift had contacted him in February to reveal that Lively’s attorney had made such threats to Swift’s representative, Daily Mail reported.
Judge Strikes Letter from Court Record
However, the judge presiding over the case ordered that the letter be removed from the record, ruling it “improper” and “irrelevant”, according to the report.
