Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Still at War With Justin Baldoni
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are in the midst of legal drama involving her 'It Ends With Us' costar Justin Baldoni.

The Lawsuits Have Taken a Toll on Blake Lively's Friendship With Taylor Swift
Baldoni denied Blake Lively's sexual harassment claims and filed his own lawsuit against her.
The ordeal has been a hot topic as Baldoni's team unveiled dozens of text messages between the two, some of which referred to Lively's pal Taylor Swift.
The dad-of-two alleged the Betty Buzz founder tried to use the singer to influence him into agreeing to her script changes, with the filmmaker subpoenaing the Grammy winner — something Swift's rep slammed.
Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, unfollowed Ryan Reynolds on Instagram.
"Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film," the message stated. "The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, 'My Tears Ricochet.' Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case."
Lively's rep also slammed Baldoni's team for trying to subpoena the musician.
Meanwhile, the "Karma" crooner's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram, sparking rumors of a falling out between the former blonde besties.
