Blake Lively’s Shocking Move to Silence Taylor Swift: Secret Texts Leak Sparks Fiery Feud with Baldoni
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.
