Judge Rules Taylor Swift Has 'No Role' in Lively-Baldoni Case
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are in a legal fight over alleged sexual harassment.
Baldoni wanted to ask Taylor Swift questions, but Swift's lawyer said she has nothing to do with it.
The judge agreed, saying Swift won't need to talk.
The legal battle began from their movie 'It Ends With Us.'
Lively accuses Baldoni of bad behavior and trying to ruin her name.
Baldoni sued Lively too, but the case was thrown out.
Lively's team thinks Baldoni is just trying to create drama and delay the trial.
Judge rules Taylor Swift has no role in the ongoing legal case.
Baldoni's team sought Swift's deposition in October, but Swift's lawyer denied it.
Swift's attorney asserted she has 'no material role' in the case.
Judge Liman rejected the request for an extension of the deposition deadline.
The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
