Justin’s lawyers wrote a letter to the judge on Wednesday, May 14, including claims about Taylor that they received from a “source who is highly likely to have reliable information.”
The source alleged that Blake asked the godmother of her four children to delete certain text messages.
The letter also alleged that Blake’s lead counsel, Michael Gottlieb of Willkie Farr, demanded a public statement of support to be issued from the Love Story singer.

Blake’s attorney was accused of reaching out to Venable—the law firm representing Taylor—and threatening to release private texts that the singer exchanged with Blake during their years-long friendship.
He “demanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively’s possession would be released.”
Taylor’s representative then “addressed these inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats in at least one written communication transmitted to Mr. Gottlieb,” Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, wrote in the letter filed on May 14.

Blake’s lawyers responded to the bombshell claims included by Bryan in the document.
“That letter … falsely accuses Ms. Lively, and her counsel, of engaging in ‘witness tampering and evidence spoliation’ based on an undisclosed anonymous source,” Lively’s legal team said.
“…Each of the allegations in the Freedman Letter is unequivocally and demonstrably false,” the statement added.

The latest allegations came after the Grammy-winning singer was subpoenaed as a witness in Blake and Justin’s ongoing legal battle over behind-the-scenes conflict during the making of their film— adapted from Colleen Hoover’s hit novel.
When there was pushback from Blake’s team about Taylor being served the subpoena, Bryan wrote the letter to the judge and said the subpoena was necessary to gain evidence of “an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation.”
The Bad Blood singer was apparently “very upset” and felt “exploited” by Blake, a source claimed to the Daily Mail.

An official statement was released on Taylor’s behalf, in which a spokesperson said the singer “never set foot on the set of this movie” and wasn’t involved “in any casting or creative decisions.”
“She never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,” the spokesperson said after the subpoena.
