Amid the bombshell allegations made in Blake Lively’s lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni, there was a tidbit of information about how the actor allegedly planned to exploit Lively’s close relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

According to the lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital, a “scenario planning document” was sent by a hired crisis management team to Baldoni, the film’s producer Jamey Heath and others, outlining three likely scenarios that Lively and her team could use and vice versa Baldoni’s team would respond if she chose to “make her complaints public.”

Rumors circulated for months about an on-set feud between Lively and Baldoni, which intensified during the film’s press tour, although neither star ever said anything at the time.

Lively’s attorney claims in the filing that Baldoni’s hired crisis public relations manager, Melissa Nathan, distributed the document on August 2, 2024 “to spread misleading counter-narratives.”

One course of action the team could take, the document states, would be to “explore the spread of stories about the use of feminism as a weapon and how people in BL (Lively’s circle), like Taylor Swift, have been accused of using these tactics.” “Intimidate” to get what they want.

Swift and Lively have been close friends for almost a decade. Fox News Digital has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment but has not yet heard back.

Other ideas to counteract any negative narrative, according to the document, included citing Baldoni’s “outstanding reputation among colleagues and industry peers – numerous quotes and interviews with positive experiences” and his support of the #MeToo movement.

The lawsuit also included a text exchange allegedly between Baldoni, Heath and Nathan (who are also listed as plaintiffs in the filing) in which the actor expressed his concerns about the document.

“I’m not happy with the document they sent me. “I’m not sure I feel the level of protection I felt on the call,” the post reads, referencing a larger conversation with Nathan’s team.

In a conversation the same day between Nathan and Baldoni’s publicist Jennifer Abel (also a plaintiff), Abel wrote that Baldoni wanted Lively to “feel like he was being buried.” Three days later, Baldoni sent Abel a screenshot of the following post on X, in which he referenced Hailey Bieber and rhetoric about bullying.

“This is what we would need,” Baldoni wrote in the lawsuit, to which Abel responded, “Yes, I literally spoke to Melissa at break about what we discussed last night on social and digital.” And then in a separate message: “Focus on reddit, TikTok, IG.”

A representative for Bieber did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. In the past, Bieber has spoken about her and her husband’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, feuding on social media over a false narrative that she believes is being spread on social media.

As Fox News Digital previously reported, Lively is suing Baldoni and his production company WayFarer Studios (which produced “It Ends With Us”) for sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and more in a lawsuit filed with the California Civil Rights Division.

According to multiple reports, Baldoni was fired from his talent agency, WME, as a result of the lawsuit. The firm also represents Lively. A representative for the agency did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Fox News Digital also reached out to a representative for Baldoni but did not receive a response.
