Alleged threats involving Taylor Swift
According to a report by People, Freedman said in the new affidavit that Lively's legal team reached out to an attorney who represents Taylor Swift and threatened to release private text messages between Swift and Lively if the singer did not offer public support. Blake Lively and her team have denied the claims.
The actress's legal team released a statement regarding the allegations, saying that they “rely completely upon a source, no matter who it is, that doesn’t even claim to have witnessed the conversations that Freedman describes, making this triple-hearsay statement as unreliable as information reported from children in a game of telephone.”

Ongoing legal feud between Lively and Baldoni
The issue started when Lively sued Justin Baldoni in December, accusing him of “disturbing” and “unprofessional” behaviour on the sets of It Ends With Us, along with orchestrating a retaliatory smear campaign. Baldoni has strongly denied the allegations and, in January, filed a countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion.
