EXCLUSIVE Blake Lively's private texts with Taylor Swift WILL be released in Justin Baldoni lawsuit saga
Blake Lively has suffered another setback in her epic legal battle with Justin Baldoni, the Daily Mail has exclusively learned. Lawyers for the actress, 37, had applied for a protective order covering her communications with erstwhile bestie Taylor Swift – but on Wednesday that move was unceremoniously denied by a New York judge. Baldoni's team are in the discovery phase of the blockbuster legal case and have subpoenaed Lively for texts, emails and other messages between her and the singer – who she infamously referred to as 'my dragon' during an exchange allegedly intended to intimidate the Jane the Virgin star. But while Baldoni's team were forced to withdraw a subpoena targeting megastar Swift directly, they scored a victory today when Judge Lewis Liman said they will be allowed access to Lively's communications with the singer. Baldoni's lawyers will now be allowed to peruse a tranche of messages exchanged by the pair with all communications related to It Ends With Us now set for scrutiny. The Daily Mail has contacted Lively's team for comment. Swift and Lively's relationship has cratered in recent months, with the singer left furious at being dragged into the case. Baldoni's team were forced to withdraw a subpoena targeting megastar Swift directly but they scored a victory today. Pictured: Lively and Baldoni in It Ends With Us And she is not the only Swift to be dragged in: last week the Daily Mail revealed the subpoena against her had been withdrawn because Baldoni's team had managed to acquire the information they were seeking – from none other than her dad Scott, 73. 'Scott Swift did not want his daughter to be dragged into this any further and he voluntarily gave up this information as part of a deal that would include [Baldoni's team] withdrawing their subpoena for Taylor,' the source explained. The pop star's doting dad - who has played a key role in building Swift's billion-dollar empire as her financial advisor - came to his daughter's rescue after she was allegedly blackmailed by Lively's lawyers. That 'blackmail' revelation appeared in a legal letter filed last month by Baldoni's lawyers, who alleged that Lively's team had attempted to 'coerce' Swift to issue a public statement in support of her. The filing claimed Lively's lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, had contacted Swift's team and demanded she '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.' Swift's team allegedly responded to Gossip Girl star Lively's 'inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats in at least one written communication' sent to Gottlieb, according to the letter. 'It is those communications that [Baldoni's team] seeks to obtain by way of subpoena, as they would evidence an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation,' the letter stated. Scott seemingly didn't take this alleged attempt to extort his 35-year-old daughter lightly, and decided to take matters into his own hands by cooperating with Baldoni and Bryan Freedman in order to protect Swift from any further legal involvement. Baldoni pictured in December 2024 in LA 'Plain and simple – they tried to extort Taylor by threatening to release private information about her so that she would support a narrative that she was not a part of,' our source added. In a statement to People magazine, Gottlieb described the suggestion that Lively's lawyers had threatened Swift as 'categorically false.' Lively's lawyers later filed a motion asking the court to strike the accusations from its docket as 'baseless, unnecessary, improper and abusive.' The motion to dismiss the letter was granted. However, the drama sheds further light on the collapse of the pair's close friendship, which has gone cold amid the actress's high-stakes lawsuit. The drama began last December when Lively, 37, accused Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and director, of sexual harassment and coordinating a smear campaign against her. Baldoni, 41, hit back in January, with a $400 million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, of defamation. All parties have denied the allegations. Last week, the defamation element of Baldoni's lawsuit was scrapped by a judge, although he is still suing for civil extortion and invasion of privacy among other claims. But contained in Baldoni's filing were screenshots of alleged text messages, in which Lively regularly mentioned Swift by name. In one now infamous and toe-curling exchange, Lively appeared to refer to herself as the character Khaleesi – from Game of Thrones – and to Swift as one of her 'dragons.' Elsewhere in Baldoni's filing is the claim that Swift was present at a meeting convened by Lively at her New York penthouse to discuss It Ends With Us script changes. Sources close to Swift insisted the singer had no knowledge of the meeting and simply turned up to find it underway. Nonetheless, the whole furor reportedly left Swift - who is godmother to Lively's three daughters – feeling 'exploited' by her pal of ten years. Scott, a former stockbroker and financial advisor for Merrill Lynch, has long been credited as smoothing his daughter's path to financial success. A disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission lists him as linked to 10 companies affiliated with his daughter, according to Bloomberg. Last year, he was accused of assaulting a photographer who was 'waiting' for Swift's arrival off a luxury yacht in Sydney following the Australian leg of her Eras Tour. In a statement to Daily Mail Australia at the time, a rep for Swift described the photographers as 'aggressive' and her father later avoided charges. Scott isn't the only member of Swift's inner circle to defend the pop star amid the legal drama. Her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, recently unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram while supermodel Gigi Hadid, another of Swift's closest friends, has reportedly 'iced out' Lively in solidarity. In a statement released to the Daily Mail, a spokesman for Lively accused Baldoni's lawyers of repeatedly attempting to drag Swift into the case and attempting to 'exploit' her popularity. It continued: 'The Court outright denied the Wayfarer Parties' motion to compel documents from Ms. Lively, who has produced far more documents in this case than the Wayfarer Parties combined. 'Further, the Court's protective order ruling rests on the Wayfarer Parties' admission that they received nothing from Taylor Swift, which is exactly the opposite of what their 'insider' claimed two weeks ago. As for the rest, Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties demanded access to Taylor Swift's private communications—despite having already subpoenaed and then withdrawn that subpoena. Baldoni's desire to drag Taylor Swift into this has been constant dating back to August 2024, when the crisis PR firm led by Melissa Nathan included her in their 'Scenario Planning' document (Lively Amended Complaint, Exhibit D), referred to her as a bully, and called for a strategy to influence the 'TS fan base '. We will continue to call out Baldoni's relentless efforts to exploit Ms Swift's popularity, which from day one has been nothing more than a distraction from the serious sexual harassment and retaliation accusations he and the Wayfarer parties are facing.

Scott Wolf's estranged wife Kelley breaks silence with cryptic messages after she was taken to hospital by cops
Scott Wolf's estranged wife Kelley has broken her social media silence - days after she was taken to hospital by the police. Kelley - who announced her split from Wolf after 21 years of marriage last week - sparked worldwide concern when she posted a chilling Instagram Live with two male sheriff's deputies and accused Wolf of abuse. After exclusively revealed the 911 audio of the call, Kelley took to Instagram to post a photo showing her wearing a hospital band at a bar captioned 'Hi' and 'God bless us.' She posted another selfie captioned: 'Be Kind Please It's 'men's' mental health month….Or wait…. Juneteenth?! Soon? Hmmmmm.' Kelley also lauded Taylor Swift in another post, posted clips of Theo Von and a photo of her purse with 'Shut the f**k up' emblazoned on it. Her last Instagram Story included a selfie alongside her father, captioned: 'Just LOVE. It's.... EASY… And MY DAD! Is THE GOAT. Thanks daddy...?.' This comes after after eerie new details emerged about the shock video of Scott Wolf's estranged wife Kelley. Her voice was clear as she insisted that she would 'go on my own,' before one of the officers was heard asking: 'You got that arm?' followed by what seemed to be the sound of handcuffs clicking shut. A deputy assured her she was 'not going to jail,' while adding that she 'made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern - are concerning.' Kelley claimed: 'I think this is shameful and Scott Wolf has been abusing me and now you're abusing me more.' There is no indication that these allegations are true. It is unclear what Kelley meant by 'abuse.' Now, the authorities have given their side of the story behind the disturbing footage - and revealed where they took her after she was detained. The incident unfolded Friday morning at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah, where Kelley had been staying since Wednesday, according to People. A press release by local law enforcement said: 'Deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help. Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies. For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.' A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriff's Office explained further: 'Typically, when we transport somebody in any of our patrol vehicles, they are placed in properly-fitted hand restraints, just for their protection and our protection as law enforcement as well.' The spokesperson continued: 'So that's what happened today: she was placed in hand restraints, placed into a vehicle, and transported by our deputies to a hospital.' contacted Scott's representatives for comment. Early in the footage, Kelley could be heard saying: 'Oh my God, this is not happening! Fine, I'll go. I'll go on my own. Please, I'll go on my own!' 'You got that arm?' said one of the deputies, and a noise that sounded like handcuffs being applied was then distinctly audible, as Kelley said: 'Wow. Wow.' She lambasted the officers: 'This is shameful, gentlemen. Look at this. Look at this woman. This is shameful. Be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.' One of the deputies said: 'You're not going to jail,' followed by another sentence that was drowned out as Kelley, a life coach, snapped: 'I know what I'm doing. I've done this. This is my job. Shame on all of you.' 'You've made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern - are concerning,' explained one of the officers. Kelley then directed their attention to the fact the exchange was being recorded on her phone, saying: 'You might wanna turn this off. It's on. Would you like to turn it off? You want me to turn it off?' She clarified for the officers that she 'didn't mean to' stream the incident, and one of the policemen offered: 'I can turn it off if you'd like me to,' to which she said: 'Please turn it off. Please.' By the end of the video, Kelley was finally visible, asking the deputies to hand her the phone so that she could switch it off on her own. Kelley later posted an Insta Stories photo of her personal effects laid out in front of her, including a handbag, a Gatorade bottle and a baseball cap. 'This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check in on my kids. Also... I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been,' she wrote. 'I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA.' Kelley added: 'I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly. In the meantime, be kind to each other. This is one of the darkest things I've ever experienced.' The astonishing episode comes following Scott's statement on the divorce, which he issued after Kelley announced their split in a cryptic Instagram post. On Tuesday, Kelley, 48, shared the emotional update with her followers, writing, 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage.' She continued, 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children.' The couple—who met in 2002 and married two years later—share three children: Jackson, Miller, and Lucy. Just hours after Kelley's post, the Party of Five star, 57, confirmed the news in a statement to People, revealing that he had initiated the split. 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he said. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.' Both Scott and Kelley have publicly indicated that their focus remains on protecting their family as they move through this new chapter. In her initial Instagram post, Kelley opened up about her emotional state, speaking of 'healing' and embracing 'freedom' as she steps into the future. She also offered a heartfelt tribute to her estranged husband, writing, 'Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. 'He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit.' Though she made clear she wouldn't be discussing the reasons behind the split publicly, Kelley expressed peace with how she's handled the situation. 'While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion,' she wrote. She added that she and Scott remain committed to raising their children with love and stability. 'We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change.' Kelley ended the emotional message with a request for privacy and a message of quiet strength: 'I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace. Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. 'Please respect our privacy during this time. May we all remember: healing isn't loud. It's sacred.' Accompanying her words was an image of a lioness with three eagles flying above. The announcement of the split followed weeks after Kelley shared a cryptic message hinting at feeling 'misunderstood' and a desire to 'tell the truth.' In a poem posted to her followers, she spoke about breaking free from old patterns and expectations to find true freedom. 'I know that may sound bold, but when I read it back, I sat in stillness and wept,' she wrote. 'Because somehow, these words came straight from the center of my heart — clear, fierce, and free.' She encouraged her followers to listen to their inner voice when it's time to change and to hold onto 'love and hope and optimism and beauty,' reminding them, 'It's WORTH IT! YOU ARE WORTH IT!' Kelley acknowledged the challenges she's faced recently but vowed not to be dragged down by negativity. 'I came here to tell the truth. To write with integrity. To live with my whole heart— even when it's misunderstood,' she said. She added that she's never felt more clear, light, or happy, closing with a hopeful note: 'I cannot wait to love and live in a way I didn't even know was possible.' Just one week prior to Tuesday's divorce announcement, Scott and Kelley celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary. The couple did not publicly honor the milestone on their respective social media pages. The year prior, Kelley made a concerning revelation while paying tribute to Scott on their 20th wedding anniversary. The reality TV star revealed that she 'almost walked out' the relationship early in their engagement when she noticed Scott starting to 'poke at me, challenge me.' 'The first few times, I wrote it off as stress or the beginnings of getting to know somebody's idiosyncrasies,' Kelley wrote. 'But then, I had this feeling come back to me that I had in the past. It was a feeling that I didn't like, and a feeling, I had worked very hard to process, heal, and make sure I noticed when/if it ever came again. 'It was the feeling of self betrayal. It was the feeling of bending myself in order to accommodate another person even when I knew that I had done nothing wrong.' She said that she previously experienced 'this feeling' in a past 'toxic relationship.' 'My old pattern had returned. I was scrambling to make myself more accommodating, less aggravating, whatever it was that seem to be pushing him away. And then I woke up one morning and said 'wait a minute' I've done this game before and I'm not doing this again,' she wrote. Kelley recalled taking off her engagement ring and handing it to Scott before telling him that she 'will not stick around while somebody tries to excavate fault in me.' 'I turned around and walked towards the door. And like I had done before in my life, I was ready to walk out the door with the girl that I promised to save.' When left with the possibility of losing her forever, Kelley said that Scott stepped up and fought for their relationship. 'But, this love story wasn't over. Scott looked at me, and some thing happened… 'He said, "You are really going to leave. I believe you. I can see it. I can feel it. And there is no chance in hell I am going to let that happen, so let's do this,"' Kelley recalled. '"Let's do this hard part, the uncomfortable part. The part where I have to look in the mirror and see my old pattern where I have tried to find fault in somebody in the hopes that I would prove that nobody can really do the hard stuff and stick around."' 'We all know that our patterns come from the things that have happened to us in life. Scott had never been shown what it looked like when LOVE really showed up.' Kelley said that after that moment she and Scott were 'more bonded, more connected, and more clear about the promise we were about to make to each other.' She said their wedding day was full of 'magic' and 'hope' and that her almost walking out the door 'set the stage for so many things' in their 20-year romance. 'Marriage, friendships, relationships of all kinds are a dance. Never to be a straight line. Never without plot, twists, and highs and lows,' she wrote. 'There is one thing we both learned that day, you have to be willing to love yourself the most to truly love somebody else, the most. And yes, like all amazing love stories, we continue to choose the power of love, over and over,' Kelley concluded. Scott also posted in honor of their 20th wedding anniversary, where he admitted that their marriage had been 'tested these last few years.' 'As blessed as we have been and are, we have surely been tested these last few years. You continue to be the force of light and love and life that makes it all make sense,' he wrote. 'You are the rock of our family, and even when pushed beyond what sometimes even feels possible, you have always found a way to hold on to who you truly are, and who and what you love the most.' He also gushed about their 'three beautiful children, several generations of fur babies, and what feels like a lifetime of adventures and experiences together.' Scott concluded his heartfelt tribute by expressing hope that his and Kelley's 'lights continue to shine together forever.' Kelley last posted Scott on her Instagram in July 2024 during a couples trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, Kelley last appeared on Scott's Instagram in February as he called her and their daughter Lucy his 'forever Valentines.'

Acclaimed venue addresses rumors Olivia Rodrigo asked them to REMOVE Taylor Swift photos before performance
Nashville's Bluebird Café has finally set the record straight over sensational reports that Olivia Rodrigo 's team asked to remove pictures of Taylor Swift at the venue prior to filming there. General manager and COO Erica Nichols was forced to speak out and address the mounting online rumors after an employee claimed that the establishment took down 'any visible sign of Swift' before Rodrigo performed there in 2023. In a video shared to X on June 18, Nichols confirmed that pictures were taken down, but explained that this was purely because of copyright laws and had nothing to do with Rodrigo. 'We did have a filming with Olivia Rodrigo here,' she began. 'Olivia's people did not ask us to remove an image of Taylor Swift. Nobody did. 'We removed an image of Taylor Swift that was in a position where the filming was taking place. 'When we have filmings, we are required legally to remove images that are under copyright. 'We don't own those images, so we cannot give permission for those images to be used in any kind of broadcast. 'That's the sole reason that the photograph was removed from the place it stood.' Nichols explained that the employee who initially ignited rumors didn't fully understand why the picture was taken down. 'He spoke carelessly and haphazardly about it, maybe trying to be funny, I don't know,' she continued. 'But regardless, that image was removed for legal reasons.' She also pointed that other pictures in the room were also taken down. 'Please understand this was not anything in between two artists,' Nichols added. 'We support all songwriters, all artists and give them equal share. Taylor is a super friend of the Bluebird, and we hold her in the highest esteem. 'We were honored to have Olivia here, and please know they both live extremely high in our regard.' Concluding her message, she said: 'It was a mistake on the part of the employee, and I'm here to clear that up so you know that this was something that we were just required to do for legal reasons. 'Thank you so much for listening. Please know that we at the Bluebird Café support Taylor. We support Olivia and we're grateful for your support.' In the viral clip, a Nashville's Bluebird Café employee claimed that the acclaimed music venue had 'vowed to remove any visible signs of Taylor Swift.' Swift was notably added to the credits of Rodrigo's song Deja Vu back in 2021 after fans noticed the chords resembled ones from the Swift track Cruel Summer. Afterwards, fans speculated the duo were embroiled in a feud with one another. In 2023, Rodrigo addressed online speculation that she had written her song Vampire about Swift. 'I was very surprised when people thought that,' she told The Guardian at the time. 'I never want to say who any of my songs are about. I've never done that before in my career and probably won't. 'I think it's better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing.' Rodrigo has also publicly praised Swift's work. 'I would just love to just be in a studio with Taylor,' she said on Apple Music 1's The Travis Mills Show in 2021. 'I don't even have to write with her. I just want to watch how she does it because I just think she's such a genius.' 'I don't have beef with anyone,' she told previously Rolling Stone. 'I'm very chill. I keep to myself. 'I have my four friends and my mom, and that's really the only people I talk to, ever. There's nothing to say.' She also said she wasn't all that 'involved' in the songwriting credit matter: 'It's not something that I was super involved in.
