Taylor Swift's texts fuel Lively-Baldoni legal feud
Taylor Swift has been pulled into a big fight between actor Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni.
Private text messages from Swift, which criticize Baldoni, have been made public in court documents.
The fight started because of disagreements about the movie 'It Ends With Us,' which Lively stars in and Baldoni directed.
Lively says Baldoni changed the movie in ways she didn't like and made the main character's story worse.
She even made her own version of the movie.
Lively also says Baldoni and others tried to hurt her reputation.
Now, Lively is suing Baldoni, and Swift's messages have made the fight even more public.
Taylor Swift's private texts criticizing Justin Baldoni surfaced in court documents related to Blake Lively's lawsuit.
The feud stems from creative and professional clashes during the making of 'It Ends With Us,' with Lively alleging Baldoni's version of the film was problematic.
Lively prepared her own cut of the movie and refused to promote it with Baldoni, accusing him of damaging her reputation.
Lively has filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, his publicist, and the film's producers, alleging harassment and retaliation.
The trial is scheduled for May 18, with Baldoni's legal team moving to dismiss the lawsuit.
