Actress Blake Lively’s ongoing lawsuit against “It Ends with Us” director and producer Justin Baldoni has taken a star-studded turn. Newly unsealed court documents reveal that Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Emily Blunt, and Hugh Jackman are among more than 100 individuals listed as potential witnesses in the 38-year-old actress’s high-stakes legal battle, as per reports.
Blake Lively’s potential witnesses in lawsuit reportedly include Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid and more
According to PEOPLE, the filing, originally submitted in July and made public on November 5, outlines the names of figures who may know about events and communications related to the case. Lively accuses Baldoni, 41, and his company Wayfarer Studios of fostering a hostile and discriminatory work environment, engaging in sexual harassment, and allegedly launching a retaliation campaign that she claims damaged her career and reputation.
The list of potential witnesses reads like a Hollywood guest list, reportedly including Taylor Swift (35), Gigi Hadid (30), Hugh Jackman (57), Emily Blunt (42), and all three Haim sisters — Este (39), Danielle (36), and Alana Haim (34). Also named are Ryan Reynolds (49), Jenny Slate (43), Colleen Hoover (41) — author of “It Ends with Us” — and Isabela Ferrer (20). Lively’s “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants” costars Alexis Bledel (43), Amber Tamblyn (42), and America Ferrera (41) are included as well.
As per the report, several individuals on the list, including Hoover, Slate, and Ferrer, were already deposed over the summer. A source familiar with the proceedings clarified that the list is part of the discovery process, stating, “This is not a new list. This was for discovery. It’s a basic part of the process as you head into discovery. They’re not witnesses.”
Lively’s lawsuit seeks over $160 million in damages, broken down into $56 million in lost earnings, $71 million in lost business profits tied to her lifestyle brands Betty Buzz, Betty Booze, and Blake Brown Beauty, and $34 million in reputational harm. The actress also demands additional compensation for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The filing alleges that Baldoni and others retaliated against Lively through press leaks, public relations campaigns, and social media interference, which she says directly impacted her business ventures and career opportunities.
