Justin Baldoni drags Taylor Swift into heated legal battle with Blake Lively

Justin Baldoni has pulled Taylor Swift into his heated legal battle with "It Ends With Us" co-star Blake Lively.

Baldoni accused Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of civil extortion, defamation and more in a $400 million lawsuit — which happens to mention global pop star Swift.

The "Jane the Virgin" star's lawsuit followed Lively's own, where she accused the actor of sexual harassment while filming "It Ends With Us." However, Baldoni insisted Lively "falsely" accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout around the movie's press tour after she took control of the film.

In an attempt to show how Lively allegedly took control of the movie's production, Baldoni's legal team claimed the actress used her friendship with Swift to threaten him. While working on the film, Lively insisted on rewriting the infamous rooftop scene. Baldoni had been hesitant about the idea, but told the 37-year-old actress he would "take a look at what she put together," according to the complaint.
