US EditionEXCLUSIVE: Taylor Swift Facing 'Worst Nightmare Yet' As Her Private A-List Texts Could Be Revealed In 'Ex-Pal' Blake Lively's Court Fight
- Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni in December 2024 in California, accusing him of sexual harassment and a smear campaign, with a trial set for March 2026.
