Blake Lively's Alleged Tension With Taylor Swift Gets Even Juicier With Scooter Braun Subpoena

Blake Lively is making waves in her ongoing legal battle with "It Ends With Us" star Justin Baldoni, with a shocking new move that has caught the attention of the tabloids and legal circles alike.

The actress has subpoenaed none other than Scooter Braun, the infamous nemesis of her alleged former BFF Taylor Swift, as part of her quest for justice.

Blake Lively recently scored a significant legal victory over Justin Baldoni, but this new Scooter Braun twist has caught the eye of Swifties everywhere.

Both Braun and his K-pop empire, HYBE, are set to be served subpoenas on Thursday, June 12, according to Deadline.

The subpoenas will reportedly seek documents related to crisis PR manager Melissa Nathan, who has been named in Lively's high-profile case against Baldoni. Furthermore, the subpoenas will demand information about Nathan's work with Baldoni, digging deeper into the connection between the two parties.

The move has left many questioning the motivations behind Lively’s decision to subpoena Braun, especially given the contentious history between Braun and Swift.

The fallout between Swift and Braun dates back to 2019, when Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, purchased Big Machine Records, the label home to Swift’s first six albums, for a staggering $300 million. Swift, devastated by the acquisition of her music catalog, responded by re-recording and releasing new versions of her old albums, which she branded as "Taylor's Version."

However, the most recent development sees Swift gaining full control over her music once again. Braun, known for his calm demeanor, has not expressed any animosity toward Swift following the news. In fact, the music mogul has stated that he does not “hold any hatred” for the pop superstar.

As reports swirl that Blake Lively's friendship with Taylor Swift has soured, it appears the "Gossip Girl" star’s actions are causing more than just a legal headache.

Sources close to the situation claim that Taylor began distancing herself from Blake a few months ago, feeling "betrayed" and "exploited" by her long-time friend. Taylor is reportedly leaving Blake’s calls, emails, and texts unanswered, signaling the end of their decade-long bond.

To add fuel to the fire, legal documents from January hinted at Lively’s alleged efforts to drag Swift into the messy legal drama with Baldoni. Screenshots of supposed texts from Blake Lively referred to herself as “Khaleesi” from "Game of Thrones" and called Taylor one of her “dragons,” which some see as an attempt to link the "22" singer to the conflict.

Recently, a subpoena was issued to Taylor Swift as a witness in the ongoing lawsuit, though it has since been withdrawn, likely due to the requested information being voluntarily provided. The subpoena, which was originally filed by Baldoni's legal team, sought details about Swift's relationship with Blake Lively, who is also named in the lawsuit.

At the heart of this complex web of legal battles, broken friendships, and personal betrayals, Blake Lively's legal drama is anything but ordinary.

The legal drama between Baldoni and Lively traces back to their time filming "It Ends With Us," where Lively accused Baldoni of harassment and attempting to tarnish her reputation. However, just days ago, Justin Baldoni suffered a major legal setback when a judge dismissed his $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times.

Despite the recent dismissal of Baldoni's defamation claim, his attorney, Bryan Freedman, is sending a clear message that the war is far from over.

In a statement released on June 10, Freedman asserted that while the defamation-related claims were dismissed, the court had allowed them to amend four out of the seven remaining claims. These amended claims, Freedman promises, will present further evidence and refined allegations that could turn the tide in Baldoni’s favor.

Freedman also criticized Lively and her team for prematurely celebrating the legal ruling, labeling their declaration of victory as "false."

Meanwhile, hours before Baldoni’s legal team issued their statement, Lively was spotted at the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in New York City, making her first public appearance since the defamation lawsuit was dismissed.

Sources close to Lively described her as elated after the ruling, with one insider revealing that she was "overcome with emotions" and "cried with relief" following the judge's decision.

For Lively, the moment marked the end of a long, stressful chapter, and she was clearly enjoying the calm that came with it.

With a major victory over Baldoni under her belt, it looks like the actress is just getting started in her fight for justice, and the subpoenaing of Scooter Braun marks just the latest chapter in her growing legal saga.

As the case unfolds, all eyes will be on Lively, Braun, and the tangled relationships at play.
