Justin Baldoni’s lawyer hints Taylor Swift could be deposed in Blake Lively lawsuit battle

Justin Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman said there’s a chance Taylor Swift could be deposed in the actor’s ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively.

Three weeks after the actor dragged the “Cruel Summer” singer, 35, into his countersuit, his attorney said Swift might have relevant knowledge that could “provide evidence” for the case, which a judge has scheduled for a March 2026 trial date.

“I don’t know that we’re going to depose Taylor Swift. I think that that’s going to be probably a game time decision. I don’t know that that decision has been made,” Freedman said on TMZ’s “Two Angry Men” podcast Wednesday.

“But, I can tell you this, anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is going to be deposed.”

Reps for Swift, Baldoni and Lively didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

In the director’s countersuit, he claims Swift — a close friend of his “It Ends With Us” co-star Lively, 37, — was present at a meeting that took place at Lively’s New York City penthouse where he and the “Gossip Girl” alum allegedly met to go over her rewrite of their movie’s rooftop scene.

Baldoni, 41, claims that during their meeting, Lively attempted to intimidate him by using her relationships with husband Ryan Reynolds and Swift, calling them “absolute titans” as writers and storytellers. He claims she further said, “I’m so lucky to have them as creative barometers” and they are her “dragons” who protect her in her battles.

Freedman, who seems to be standing firm on his claim that he won’t be “bullied” by Reynolds and Lively’s court-requested gag order, doubled down on Swift’s involvement in his Wednesday interview, confirming that she was “there for that meeting.”

He also went further, theorizing with hosts Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos that Lively and Reynolds would like to keep Swift out of the case, if possible.

“My assumption is they’re going to take some legal actions that are beyond the bounds of decency and we’ll see if they can try to avoid a deposition,” said Freedman.

It was later revealed that Baldoni sent Lively a late night voice message after their meeting in question, apologizing for their disagreement over the rewrite.

Baldoni’s attorneys previously argued in his suit that the “Jane the Virgin” star allegedly “felt obliged to text Lively to say that he had liked her pages and hadn’t needed Reynolds and her megacelebrity friend to pressure him.”

“The message could not have been clearer. Baldoni was not just dealing with Lively. He was also facing Lively’s ‘dragons,’ two of the most influential and wealthy celebrities in the world, who were not afraid to make things very difficult for him.”
